Basic Cooked Rice

Ingredients:
• 2 cups Uncooked rice (see note)
• 2 1/2 cups Basic stock (Prudhomme)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons Onions – chopped very fine
• 1 1/2 tablespoons Celery – chopped very fine
• 1 1/2 tablespoons Bell peppers – chopped vy fine
• 1 1/2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (preferred)
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/8 teaspoon Garlic powder
• Pinch white pepper
• Pinch black pepper
• Pinch cayenne pepper

Directions:
In a 5x9x2-1/2-inch loaf pan, combine all ingredients; mix well. Seal pan snuggly with aluminum foil. Bake at 350F until rice is tender, about 1 hour, 10 minutes. Serve immediately. However, you can count on the rice staying hot for 45 minutes and warm for 2 hours. To reheat leftover rice, either use a double boiler or warm the rice in a skillet with unsalted butter.
