Perfect tender rice to cook for lunch

Delicious rice does not necessarily have to be crumbly. We are not talking about the groats that stick together in one lump. The special juiciness and tenderness of the rice are given by the cream sauce. Such a dish turns out quite hearty and is perfect for lunch.
