GARLIC BUTTER RICE

Steps:

• Cut half of the garlic cloves into thin slices. Mince the other half of the garlic.
• Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and let it cook for 3-4 minutes, until it's golden. Reduce the heat if the butter begins to brown. Using a slotted spoon, remove the garlic from the pot.
• Add the minced garlic to the pot and let it cook for 1 minute. Add the basmati rice, broth, salt, and pepper and stir the pot. Bring the pot to a boil then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for 12 minutes.
• Remove the pot from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
• Fluff the rice with a fork then serve topped with the cooked sliced garlic and some green onions.

GARLIC BUTTER RICE

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.

GARLIC RICE

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!)

GARLIC BUTTER RICE - BAKED

Steps:

• Place rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until water runs clear- about 1 1/2 minutes.Shake rice vigorously to remove excess water.This step removes the starch from the rice so it will not stick. It is very important that you do not skip this step.
• Heat margarine in a larger dutch oven with a tight fitting lid. Drop a few rice grains in and if they sizzle then it is ready. Add rice and fry stirring until rice is light golden and translucent, about 6-8 minutes.
• Add water and chicken bullion. Increase heat to medium high, and bring to a boil.
• Cover pan and transfer pan to oven to bake. Bake for 15 minutes, then stir. Bake for another 10 minutes, then add minced garlic and stir. Bake another 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
• Add additional margarine, if it is not buttery enough.
