Curried Rice

I mentioned in an earlier post that I would be giving you this recipe for Curried Rice.  This recipe is fro one of my favorite cookbooks, The Gourmet Cookbook.  I love Curry both the flavors it adds to the dish and the aroma that fills the house when you use it.  This rice is very simple and makes a great side dish or add some veges and/or a protein and make an awesome rice bowl. Enjoy!



Ingredients:

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 medium onion, finely chopped

3 garlic cloves, finely chopped

What you do:

Reduce heat to low and cover pan for another 15 minutes.

Remove from heat and let rice stand, covered, for 5 minutes,  Fluff with fork.
