Aromatic Rice in Pots
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Fragrant rice in pots is something like a vegetarian pilaf with olives. As usual, it's very simple, quick, and requires minimal physical and financial effort. The key role here, of course, belongs to the spices. Cooking rice in pots allows it to absorb the spices so thoroughly that the result is incredibly delicious and aromatic. Good luck, and serve hot.
