Peruvian Garlic Rice

---

I was once married to a Peruvian, MANY years ago. Growing up he worked in his mom’s small restaurant in Lima, Peru and knew how to cook all the Peruvian staples. I was shocked by how much garlic he put in the rice but as soon as I tasted it, it was like I was back there.

Serve with Peruvian Aji de Gallina.

Ingredients:

• 1 Tbsp olive oil
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• 3/4 tsp sea salt
• 1 c long grain white rice
• 2 c water

3. Add the rice. Cook for 1 minute.
4. Add the water. Bring to a boil.
5. Stir once. Reduce heat to a low simmer. Cover and cook for 20 minutes.
