Equipment
- 1 Pot with Lid
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil light tasting
- 1 Cup Rice long grain, Basmati preferred
- 2 Cloves Garlic Minced
- 3 Stems Green Onions Sliced, whites separated from greens
- 1 3/4 Cups Water
- 1 Tbsp Butter
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Mince the cloves of garlic. Cut the green onion stems and separate the whites from the greens.
- Place a drizzle of olive oil in a pot with a lid (about 1 tbsp). Heat the olive oil, then add the minced garlic and the whites of the green onions.
- Cook on medium heat for about 1 minute. Don't overcook the garlic, it should not become brown. Add the rice and stir to coat, cooking the rice for about 1 more minute.
- Pour in the water (water amounts should be determined by rice package directions). Heat on medium/high heat until the water boils. Place a lid on the pot, reduce heat to low. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and rice is cooked through.
- Allow the pan to sit, with the lid on, for at least 5 minutes.
- After the rice has sat, add 1 Tbsp of butter, and salt & pepper to taste. Mix together with a fork, separating the rice while mixing together.
- Serve immediately.
