1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bring the stock to the boil in a saucepan.

4. Cover and bake for 15 minutes, without stirring.
5. Remove the rice from the oven and spread it out on a large dish (or tray) to cool quickly.
6. The rice pilaf is ready! It can be kept for up to 2 days in the fridge.
7. To reheat, melt a little butter in a saucepan, add the rice and fluff it up with a fork. If necessary, add a little water to prevent it sticking.
