GARLIC BUTTER RICE



Garlic Butter Rice image

I love rice. I also love garlic and cook with it a lot. It took a few tries to get the correct measurements for this recipe in order to submit it. I don't always use measurements when I cook. This is very easy to make. This is a very moist and buttery rice with a good, but not overpowering garlic flavor. For rice with less moisture, use less water and for a less garlicky flavor, use less garlic. I read in an article on an internet medical site, that if garlic is cooked too long, it loses some of its healthful benefits. They said not to cook garlic any longer than 3-6 minutes. I have also noticed that it loses some of its flavor if it's cooked too long. Therefore, I add the garlic towards the end of the cooking time to get more of a garlic flavor and more healthful benefits from the garlic. I will sometimes have this for breakfast with a fried egg. I just put some of the rice on a plate and put a fried egg on it and mix it together. It is really good that way. I also serve the rice with gravy over it as a side dish with some meat. It is also good just by itself. The chicken bouillon is optional but it adds to the flavor of the rice. If you have to or are watching your sodium intake, you might want to omit the bouillon or use less of it. I have found that jasmine rice gives the best results for this recipe but you can also use white rice. Prep and cooking times are estimates. NOTE: Due to the first review, I have edited this recipe. Thank you Lauralie41,

Categories     Rice

Time 25m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/3 cup margarine (or soft margarine) or 1/3 cup butter (or soft margarine)
1/2 cup white rice (or jasmine)
1 -2 chicken bouillon cubes (depending on size) (optional) or 3 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules (or kind of powdery)
1 1/2 cups water or 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 -3 tablespoons chopped garlic (or minced)

Steps:

  • Melt the butter or margarine in a 10" skillet over med-high heat.
  • Add the rice and stir.
  • Add the bouillon cube(s) and stir until softened or dissolved.
  • I use a spoon and break the bouillon cube(s) apart while it is dissolving so that it dissolves faster.
  • Watch closely so that the rice does not start to brown.
  • You might need to lower the heat if the rice starts to brown or appears to be cooking too fast.
  • Add the water and stir.
  • Cover with a lid and bring it to a boil.
  • Lower the heat to med to med-low and cook for 10 minutes or until rice is almost tender and a lot, but not all, of the water/butter mixture has been absorbed.
  • This comes out better if it is "slow cooked".
  • Add the garlic and stir.
  • Put the lid back on the skillet and continue cooking for 5 more minutes or until the rice is tender and all of the water has been absorbed.
  • There may still be some melted butter at the bottom of the skillet, but that is okay.
  • Stir well and turn the burner off.
  • Let the skillet sit on the burner until you are ready to serve the rice.

3 cups chicken stock, divided
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons ground cumin, divided
3 tablespoons fresh thyme, 5 or 6 sprigs, chopped
1 1/2 cups white rice
1 (14-ounce) can black beans
2 pounds flank steak
2 tablespoons grill seasoning blend ( recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick)
1 lime
3 green plantains (they like green bananas and are available in produce department)
Waxed paper
1 small green bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, cracked away from skin and finely chopped
1 pound small shrimp, peeled, deveined and coarsely chopped
Salt and pepper
1 lemon
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley leaves
Hot sauce (recommended: Tabasco)

Steps:

  • Heat a medium pot over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, 1 turn of the pan, and half of the finely chopped onion. Saute 3 minutes, then season with 2 teaspoons cumin, eyeball the measurement in the palm of your hand, and the thyme leaves. Pour in 2 1/2 cups of chicken stock and raise heat to bring to a boil. Add rice and lower heat to simmer when boil resumes. Cover pot tightly. After 12 minutes, stir in black beans and replace cover. Cook another 6 to 7 minutes. Turn off rice and beans, season with salt and stir to combine then let stand until ready to serve. While rice cooks, make plantains with shrimp and the meat.
  • Preheat a grill pan over high heat. The meat can also be prepared in a hot, large cast iron or nonstick skillet if you do not have a grill pan.
  • Place flank steak in a shallow dish and drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil to coat ¿ about 2 tablespoons. Mix grill seasoning with 1 tablespoon cumin, eyeball the measurement in your palm. Add the zest of 1 lime to the grill seasoning and cumin. Rub the mixture over the steak evenly. Wash up and cut lime into wedges and reserve. Place the steak on hot grill or in hot pan and cook 4 to 5 minutes, turn and cook 3 minutes longer. Remove from heat and let juices redistribute 5 minutes.
  • Slit the skins of the plantains from end to end to vent them for microwave cooking. Wrap them each in wax paper, twisting up paper at ends. Microwave the plantains 4 to 5 minutes together or 90 seconds each individually on high.
  • While plantains and steak cook, place a medium nonstick skillet on the heat over a high flame. Add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and the sliced onions. Sear the onions up and heat through, but leave a bite to them. Place on a platter and cover with foil to reserve heat. Return pan to stove and reduce heat to between medium high and medium. Add 2 tablespoons extra, 2 turns of the pan, and the remaining finely chopped onion, the bell pepper, garlic and shrimp. Season with salt and pepper and add the zest of 1 lemon. Cook until shrimp are firm and peppers begin to soften, 4 minutes or so. Add the juice of 1/2 lemon, the tomato sauce and parsley. Turn off heat.
  • Peel and mash the steaming hot plantains with remaining 1/2 cup chicken stock and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. Season the plantains with salt and pile on platter or dinner plates then top with garlicky shrimp and tomatoes. Very thinly slice the cooked steak on an angle, working against the grain. Squeeze lime juice over the meat and arrange over the cooked sliced onions on serving platter. Fluff up rice and black beans a bit, transfer them to a bowl and pass at table.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Start with good-quality garlic, rice, and broth. The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the rice, make sure there is enough space for the grains to move around and cook evenly. If the pan is too crowded, the rice will steam instead of fry.

  • Use a variety of seasonings. Garlic rice is a versatile dish that can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices. Try adding some chopped parsley, cilantro, or thyme. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cumin for a little extra flavor.
