Garlic Rice

Garlic Rice is a fragrant and flavorful dish that combines the richness of garlic with fluffy grains of rice, making it a perfect side for any meal. This Kosher American version is easy to prepare and brings a delightful aroma to your kitchen.

Ingredients

• Long-grain white rice - 1 cup
• Garlic cloves - 4, minced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Vegetable broth - 2 cups
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. Rinse the long-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain well.
2. In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
3. Stir in the rinsed rice and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the garlic flavor.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth, add salt and black pepper, and bring to a boil.
5. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
6. Remove from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the chopped fresh parsley before serving.
