BBQ (or 2 grill pans)

Heat the BBQ on high, making sure to &lt;strong&gt;oil&lt;/strong&gt; the grill first.

Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 17 to 20 min., until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 min. Add &lt;strong&gt;1 tsp of the spices&lt;/strong&gt; (double for 4 lunch portions) and&lt;strong&gt; S&amp;amp;P&lt;/strong&gt;. Fluff and set aside to cool. Once cool, set aside in the fridge.
