Simple Garlic Rice Recipes

Steps:

• Saute garlic cloves in hot oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat 2-3.
• Add rice, and saute 1 minute.
• Stir in 4 cups water and salt; bring to a boil.
• Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 30 minutes. Do not uncover rice until time is up.
• Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes.
• Fluff with fork.

Steps:

• Put the oil in a skillet and saute the onions& garlic until golden.
• Add rice, broth, thyme& bay leaf Bring to a boil uncovered, turn heat to low cover and simmer about 25 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed, give a little stir after 15 minutes Remove bay leaf& stir in the parsley.

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:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the garlic and ground pork. Cook and stir until the garlic is golden brown. This is the color you want for maximum flavor, do not allow it to burn, or the flavor will be bitter.
• Stir in the cooked white rice, and season with garlic salt and pepper. Cook and stir until heated through and well blended, about 3 minutes. Serve and enjoy.

Steps:

• Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Refrigerator 8 hours to overnight.
• Melt butter in a large frying pan or wok over low heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add bacon and frozen vegetables; fry until bacon is cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Add cold rice and stir until rice is completely coated in butter. Season with salt and pepper and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat the butter in a heavy saucepan and add the garlic.
• Stir then add the rice.
• Cook, stirring constantly, until all the butter has been absorbed, taking care not to let the rice brown.
• Add the stock, season to taste, cover, bring to the boil then reduce the heat as low as possible.
• Cook for 20 to 30 minutes until the rice is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.

Steps:

• Melt the butter or margarine in a 10" skillet over med-high heat.
• Add the rice and stir.
• Add the bouillon cube(s) and stir until softened or dissolved.
• I use a spoon and break the bouillon cube(s) apart while it is dissolving so that it dissolves faster.
• Watch closely so that the rice does not start to brown.
• You might need to lower the heat if the rice starts to brown or appears to be cooking too fast.
• Add the water and stir.
• Cover with a lid and bring it to a boil.
• Lower the heat to med to med-low and cook for 10 minutes or until rice is almost tender and a lot, but not all, of the water/butter mixture has been absorbed.
• This comes out better if it is "slow cooked".
• Add the garlic and stir.
• Put the lid back on the skillet and continue cooking for 5 more minutes or until the rice is tender and all of the water has been absorbed.
• There may still be some melted butter at the bottom of the skillet, but that is okay.
• Stir well and turn the burner off.
• Let the skillet sit on the burner until you are ready to serve the rice.
