The basic idea is to add, a fat, like butter of oil to a pan to lightly coat raw rice grains. Additional food is added to the pan, along with enough liquid to make cooked rice, and it is simmered at a very low heat under a tight fitting cover for about 15 minutes. The pan is then allowed to rest, unheated but covered for an additional 5 minutes. The result is a one dish meal in which the rice has taken on the flavors of the other foods in the dish.
