Curried and Herbed Basmati Rice image

Basmati rice, alone, is a wonderfully fragrant and fluffy rice. This is my own concoction with a pinch here and a dash there, but I tried to be more specific when writing the recipe. We enjoyed it very much, I hope you do also. If you love the taste of curry, you will love this rice.

Time 30m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup basmati rice
1 3/4 cups chicken stock (or vegetable for vegan)
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon curry powder
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, zest of
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon butter
salt and pepper
extra virgin olive oil, for last-minute dressing

Steps:

  • Heat medium 3-quart pot over medium-high heat with oil. Add minced garlic. Cook for 2 minutes. Don't burn garlic. Lightly brown.
  • Add rice. Constantly toss and stir to coat rice with garlic and oil and lightly toast rice.
  • Add chicken stock, curry powder and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover on simmer til rice has absorbed liquid (about 20 minutes).
  • During last 5 minutes of cooking rice, remove lid, add butter, rosemary and parsley. Stir. Recover.
  • If liquid is absorbed, reduce heat to low and keep warm. If rice appears dry, add small amount of olive oil. I recommend doing this anyway, as the Extra Virgin Olive Oil adds wonderful flavor.
  • Just before serving, add lemon zest to pot and toss to combine all ingredients. Salt and pepper to taste.
