Rice Pilaf, an easy to make quick and healthy dish that is both filling and healthy.
Servings: 2
1 Tablespoon olive oil
6 Cloves garlic, pressed through the Joseph Joseph Garlic Rocker
2 Tablespoons pine nuts
1/2 Cup Basmati rice
1 Cup chicken broth
- Heat oil in a shallow saucepan, when hot enough add the garlic and pine nuts and sauté until slightly brown and crispy (but don't let the garlic burn, or it will become bitter)
- Add the rice, and stir to coat with the oil. Sauté for a minute or two to let the rice pick up a little color.
- Add the broth, reduce heat and simmer covered for approximately 15 minutes, or until it reaches the desired state of dryness.
- Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper and serve.

Notes:
The Garlic Rocker creates pieces of garlic large enough to be crispy bits after you sauté them, which adds both flavor and texture to the dish. We like Basmati rice because of its nutty flavor. This is a basic recipe; you can add citrus zest and replace up to 1T of the broth with citrus juice for a citrus rice. You can increase or decrease the quantity of rice: just maintain the ratio of one part rice to two parts liquid.
