Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 40 minutes
Total Time 55 minutes
RECIPE CATEGORY: Side Dishes
KEYWORDS: garlic, pilaf

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cloves garlic (peeled and sliced into thin strips)
  • 1 onion (peeled and thinly sliced)
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup Basmati rice (or similar long-grain rice)
  • 2 ½ cups beef or chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh garlic chives or regular chives, snipped finely
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced

Instructions
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut garlic into slices and then into thin strips. Let sit 15 minutes before frying.
  2. Heat olive oil in a frying pan. Sauté garlic and onions until just barely browning. Do not let the garlic burn.
  3. Add rice and stir to coat each grain with oil. Add broth, stir well, and pour into an ovenproof casserole (or leave in an oven-safe skillet).
  4. Bake about 40 minutes or until broth is absorbed and rice is tender. Stir in chives and parsley just before serving.
  5. Note: The 15-minute wait allows garlic flavor and beneficial compounds (allicin) to develop. Avoid garlic powder or dried granules.
