Advice
Rinse rice until the water runs mostly clear—removing surface starch keeps grains separate after baking.
Why it works
Paprika blooms in oil for color and sweetness; starting on the stove jump-starts flavor and heat, while a covered bake steams the rice evenly before a brief uncovered roast concentrates the juices.
Twist
Chickpea power: Fold in 240 g (1½ cups / 8.5 oz) cooked chickpeas before baking for extra protein and a fuller meal.
