When boiling add rice that has been washed in three waters. Boil fast for sixteen minutes. Try a grain, and if done dash in a glass of cold water. Drain at once through a colander. Cover with a cloth and let stand by the fire for a few minutes, shaking up the colander once or twice. This will make every grain separate. 98 VEGETABLES Risotto Fry two chopped onions in butter until light brown in color. Add one cup of raw rice and cover with beef stock.
