Introduction
Spanish white rice is a bit different from the white rice found in Asian dishes... mainly, it is not as sticky. This rice accompanies many Latin American dishes and it is one of the main staple foods (add beans) of the region.

Ingredients
-
1/2 cup of white long grain rice
1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder (or finely minced garlic)
1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon Goya Adobo w/pepper
Tips
Be sure to use a metal pot and NOT a non-stick one, the rice will stick to the bottom if you use the latter. A rice cooker is also perfect. Also, using a clear lid for the pot is very helpful.
Directions
- Bring the water with the garlic powder, olive oil, and Goya Adobo to a boil (pot should be covered)
- Bring down the heat to its lowest point and add the rice, turn it a bit and then close the lid again
- DO NOT open the lid to "check" on the rice
- After 20 or so minutes have passed the rice should look somewhat fluffy, turn off heat, and fluff a bit more with a fork.
Serving Size: makes two 1/4 cup servings
