Garlic Dill Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Peel garlic, then use a Microplane to grate cloves into a small bowl. Set aside. In a medium pot over medium-high heat, add oil and butter. Heat until butter is melted and frothy, 1-2 minutes, then add garlic and stir until fragrant and lightly golden, 1-2 minutes. Add rice and stir so each individual grain is coated in the butter and oil. Scrape down the sides of the pot and toast rice, 30 seconds.
• Add water and salt and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer. Cover the pot with foil to prevent any steam from escaping, then place a lid over the foil and simmer, 20 minutes. Remove pot from heat and allow rice to continue steaming, covered, 10 minutes.
• Taste the rice. If rice is undercooked, drizzle 2-3 tablespoons water on top, but don't stir it in; cover the pot again and simmer on lowest heat, 5-10 minutes. Fluff the rice in the pot with a wooden spoon and serve.
• When serving, leave rice that sticks to bottom of the pot. Turn the heat to high and let the oil fry the rice till crispy, 5 minutes. (This is a special chef's snack called concolon!)

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute garlic in hot olive oil until softened.
• Add rice and saute for 2 minutes over high heat.
• Add broth and seasonings and bring back to a boil.
• Lower heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until done.
• Fluff and mix rice and allow to stand uncovered for a few minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Combine the rice and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Set aside to cool.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant and lightly browned. Stir in rice and cook until coated and heated through. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a saucepan.
• Saute the chopped onion for 1 minute.
• Add rice and "parch" over low heat, by stirring until the rice turns white again. Do not let the rice brown.
• Add the rest to the ingredients and bring to boil.
• Lower heat and cover with a tight fitting lid. Cook until all of the liquid is absorbed.
• Fluff well with a fork, replace the lid and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Note: The rice turn translucent when mixed with the oil. Sauteing the rice greatly reduces foaming during cooking.
