Ingredients

  • 1 cup long grain rice, uncooked
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 2 chicken stock cubes
  • 2 1/2 cups boiling water
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Method

  • In a pan, put the rice, onion, garlic and italian seasoning.
  • Crumble in the stock cubes.
  • Pour the boiling water into the pan and stir to dissolve the stock cubes.
  • Simmer, covered, over a low to medium heat for 20 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir every 5 minutes or so, to stop the rice from sticking to the pan.
  • Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. By this stage, nearly all the liquid should have been absorbed.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste (bear in mind, the stock cubes contain quite a lot of salt).
  • Serve hot or allow to cool and refrigerate.
  • NB: If reheating this rice in the microwave, add a little water before reheating so the rice doesn't dry out.
