revenue rice
Back in the late 60’s, we had a group of friends (mostly nursing students and musicians) who, about once a week would go to this Smörgåsbord Restaurant in Silver Spring, Maryland, where platters and bowls of food were put on a large lazy Susan in the center of a big round table that would seat eight. The food differed from day to day but they always had Revenue Rice. We all loved it and usually asked them to bring out another bowl of this stuff. One day it occurred to me to ask for the recipe which they readily told to me while I scribbled it on the back of a scrap of paper.

How To Make revenue rice

Step 2Pour in the chicken stock, stir, and cover; cook over medium-low until rice is soft, almost to the point of being overdone, about 20 - 25 minutes; set aside, covered, about 5 minutes, to allow a little more liquid to be absorbed.
