Arroz Blanco / Amarillo Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Rinse the Rice

   Rinse the long-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

2. 2

   Sauté the Garlic

   In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Add Rice and Spices

   Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and stir for about 2 minutes to toast it lightly. Add the salt, saffron, and turmeric, stirring to combine.

4. 4

   Add Water and Cook

   Pour in the water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

5. 5

   Fluff and Garnish

   Remove from heat, let it sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
