INSTRUCTIONS
Wash the rice thoroughly in several changes of water and put in a
bowl. Add enough water to cover the rice by an inch. Soak the rice
for 1/2 hour (maximum 2 hours). Meanwhile bring 3 quarts of salted
water to a boil in a deep pot and prepare the croutons.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over high heat until hot and add
okra. Reduce heat and cook okra, stirring and shaking, until brown
and crisp, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with the lemon juice, clove,
and black pepper. Reduce heat to minimum and keep warm while you cook
the rice.
Drain the rice and add to the boiling water, stirring to prevent the
rice from settling. Bring the water to a boil again and cook the rice
for exactly 4 minutes. Drain the rice well in a large sieve held over
the sink and transfer to a heated platter. Scatter okra croutons on
top and serve.
