Arroz Recipe

Main Menu

1. 1

   Rinse the rice

   Rinse the rice under cold running water in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear. Drain well.

2. 2

   Sauté aromatics

   In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 2–3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds more, until fragrant.

3. 3

   Toast the rice

   Add the rinsed rice to the pan and stir to coat with oil. Cook 1–2 minutes until the edges of the grains look slightly translucent and fragrant.

4. 4

   Simmer

   Pour in the water or broth and add salt. Stir once, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15–18 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.

5. 5

   Rest and fluff

   Remove from heat, keep covered, and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.
