Ingredients
Scale
If serving without additional sauces I add the following for more flavor
1 cup rice
1–3/4 cups water
1/4 cup shallot – minced
2 large cloves garlic – minced
4 TBL unsalted butter
Sea salt – to taste
Instructions
Place the rice and water with a pinch of salt into a heavy bottom pot, bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Cover and cook for 30 minutes (or per producers instructions)
While cooking, saute the shallot in butter over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, then add the garlic and saute for 1 minute more. Turn off the heat and set aside
When the rice is ready, uncover, stir in the butter, shallot and garlic. Re-cover and let it rest for 5 minutes. Forbidden rice should have a nice light chew similar to an al dente pasta
