Ingredients
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 2 cups long-grain rice
- 3 cups water
- 1 tsp garlic chopped finely
- 1 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in the saucepan and fry the garlic (watch that it doesn't burn).
- Add the rice, stirring continuously so it can 'toast'.
- Add the water and salt and leave to boil. Once boiling, turn the temperature to low and leave to simmer with the lid on for 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes (and maybe a very quick peek!) leave the lid on and let the rice sit for 10 minutes to settle. Fluff up with a fork or mould into shape with a bowl (see instructions above on how to!)

Notes
- Storage & re-heating - I would store leftover rice In the fridge, in a sealed container. You must cool the rice as quickly as possible before storing. Never keep rice longer than a day and always reheat throughly. Never re-heat more than once.
- Freezing - Cool it quickly and pack it into a sealed container. Freeze for a month but no longer. Defrost throughly and re-heat until piping hot.
