Arroz Blanco - Venezuela traditional dish

🧂 食材

2 cups long-grain white rice(such as Canilla rice)
3 cups olive oil(or vegetable oil)
2 tbsp garlic(minced or finely chopped)
1 tsp onion(finely diced (optional, for added flavor))

👨‍🍳 步驟

1
Prepare the Rice: Rinse 2 cups of long-grain white rice under cold running water in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear. Drain thoroughly. This step removes excess starch, contributing to a fluffier final product.
⏱️ 5 minutes
2
Sauté Aromatics: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium-sized, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced onion (if using) and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and the onion is translucent. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
⏱️ 3 minutes
3
Toast the Rice: Add the rinsed and drained rice to the pot with the sautéed aromatics. Stir continuously for about 1-2 minutes, toasting the grains until they take on a slightly golden hue and smell toasty. This step helps keep the grains separate.
⏱️ 5 minutes
4
Add Liquid and Seasonings: Pour in 4 cups of hot water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, and the optional bay leaf and whole cloves. Stir everything together to combine.
⏱️ 18-20 minutes
5
Boil and Simmer: Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the pot tightly with a lid, and let it simmer for 15 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during this time.
⏱️ 5-10 minutes

💡 專業提示

✓For extra flavor, you can substitute half of the water with chicken or beef broth.
✓To prevent the rice from sticking, ensure you rinse it thoroughly and avoid over-stirring once the liquid is added.
✓A tiny splash of lime juice or white vinegar added with the water can help achieve a perfectly loose texture.
