I recently went to a Colombian cooking night and learned how to make some awesome dishes. This is a new favorite of mine. I have never made rice this way and I love it!
I contributed my own flair to the recipe and added green onions and carrots into the mix.
Recipe:
1 cup rice (I used medium grain)
3-4 Tbsp oil
2 tsp salt
1-2 minced cloves of garlic
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 medium carrots, sliced and cooked Al Dente
You can make this recipe in a rice cooker, or in a stock pot. Here are the different versions.
Rice cooker: Add minced garlic, and oil to the bottom of the rice cooker. Add rice, and water. Then add salt and sliced green onions. Stir, and then turn on to cook.
Pot: Add oil to the bottom of the pan, then add minced garlic. Brown garlic. Add the water you will need for your rice. Bring it to a boil and then add your salt. Stir. When it is at a full boil, add your rice and green onions. Turn heat down to simmer. When the rice is almost fully cooked, and most of the water has either been incorporated in the rice or evaporated, cover pot with aluminum foil and then a lid. Turn stove to low and leave for 10 minutes.
Serve with carrots boiled in water til Al Dente.
Comments:
This rice is sooo delicious! I can't get enough of it. And it is easy and fast to prepare too! You can put whatever you want into the pot or rice cooker. I added green onions, but you could put in broccoli, carrots,whatever. I prefer to use the rice cooker because I can just start it and forget it.
