There's just something about the prepared white rice in Cuba... and this recipe is the secret. Mary Uturria, in her book "Memories of a Cuban Kitchen", tells us how they do it, which was later confirmed by my daughter-in-law's mother in Cuba. She says "...if you've never prepared rice this way, you will be tempted to lower the heat and cover the pot too early. But follow my directions and you will be rewarded with the fluffiest rice you have ever cooked."

Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, and cook, uncovered, until most of the water has been absorbed and small craters form on top of the rice, 10-15 minutes.
- Stir the rice with a fork and cover. Reduce the heat to low, and cook until the rice if fluffy, 8-10 minutes more. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve immediately.
