Instructions
- In a large, heavy-bottomed stock pot, combine oil, achiote powder and chopped garlic. Saute over medium heat for about one minute, until garlic has softened (but is not browning).
- Add uncooked rice to the pot. Stir until rice is evenly coated with oil.
- Add vegetable broth and orange zest (if using) to the pot. Stir well. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover with lid and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until rice is tender and has absorbed all the broth.
- Remove the pot from heat. Leaving the lid in place, allow rice to steam in the pot for 5 minutes. Remove the lid and fluff with a fork.

Notes
- Rinse the rice well: It's impossible to get the water running perfectly clear, but give it a good rinse, swishing it with your hand, to remove excess starch.
- Don't peek: It's important to keep the lid on while cooking the garlic rice, so it cooks properly and steams for fluffy results. We recommend using a pan with a clear lid to monitor its process.
- Leave it to steam: This will help evaporate the leftover liquid in the pan for super fluffy yellow garlic rice.
