In a medium saute pan, brown the rice in the oil.
Then add the onions and celery and cook a few minutes longer, until the onions begin to soften.

Add salt, pepper and cayenne if desired. Stir.

Add the stock and mix well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer about 20 Mins.

After the time, take a peak at rice to see that all the broth has been absorbed. If not, cook a little longer and look again.
Once all the liquid has been absorbed, remove the pan from the heat and let sit for 10 Mins, covered.
