Ingredients

  • 1 bottle (235 mL) Vanilla Ensure® Regular
  • 10 mL (2 tsp) vegetable oil
  • 160 mL (⅔ cup) white basmati rice
  • 2 green or brown cardamom pods (or 1 mL [¼ tsp] ground cardamom)
  • 3 whole cloves
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 cinnamon stick, broken in half (or 1 mL [¼ tsp] ground cinnamon)
  • 1 mL (¼ tsp) salt
  • 160 mL (⅔ cup) water

How to make

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Add rice and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to toast the rice.
  4. Add cardamom, cloves, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, and salt, and continue to stir. Add water and bring to a simmer.
  5. Add Ensure® Regular and continue to cook until it begins to simmer. (Do not allow the mixture to come to a boil.)
  6. Remove from heat.
  7. Pour mixture into a 20-cm (8-inch) square oven-safe baking dish.
  8. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  9. Place on the middle rack of the oven and cook for 30 minutes.
  10. Check the rice. It may need an additional 5 minutes to absorb all of the liquid.
  11. Remove from oven. Allow the rice to steam, covered, for 5 minutes.
  12. Remove cover.
  13. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
