Garlic white rice
White rice with garlic with a hint of lemon. This is the perfect side dish for eggs, fish, poultry, and meat, or serve with lentils for a complete vegetarian main course.
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a medium sized pan. Saute the garlic for 1-2 minutes, add the rice and parsley, saute for another minute, until each grain is coated.
- Pour the liquid - measured - over the rice and take to the boil once more. Add some drops of lemon juice when the liquid starts boiling.
- Let it boil for 5 minutes then reduce heat and simmer 10-15 minutes, until rice is cooked and tender but not opened.
- Stand for 5-10 minutes, remove the parsley. Transfer to a serving tray or mold it into your preferred shape.
