Ingredients
- 2 c. long-grain rice
- 1/4 c. pine nuts

Instructions
- Place rice in a bowl and rake through with your fingers while rinsing under cold running water. Drain in a colander.
- In a heavy 2-quart saucepan, heat rice with 3 3/4 cups water, uncovered, until boiling. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 18 to 20 minutes, or until water evaporates and craters appear on surface.
- Meanwhile, toast pine nuts in a nonstick frying pan over medium-low heat until golden brown, stirring occasionally.
- When rice is done, remove from heat and fluff with a fork. Sprinkle with pine nuts and salt; gently stir to blend. Cover and let stand until pine nuts are tender, about 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork once more before serving.
