Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup jasmine or basmati rice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups boiling water
Instructions
- Heat a bit more than 2 cups of water on the stove or in the microwave until boiling. You will lose some water due to evaporation so you want to start with more than 2 cups in order to have the correct amount to add to the rice.
- Meanwhile, heat a medium saucepan over medium heat, then add the olive oil and allow it to get hot. Add the onions and saute for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic during the last 30 seconds.
- Add the dry rice to the onions and garlic and stir to incorporate. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure the rice doesn't stick to the pan.
- Add the salt and two cups of boiling water to the rice. Stir, then cover with a lid. When the water returns to boiling, turn the heat down to low and let the rice simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed.
- Remove from heat and fluff with a fork before serving.
