Candyce’s Basmati Rice

Ingredients:

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil 

1 ½ cups of diced yellow onions

20 cloves of garlic

1 teaspoon of cumin seeds

2 bay leafs

5 tablespoons of chicken bouillon

4 cups of basmati rice

Rinse the rice in a sieve until the water runs clear.

In a 10 qt pot with sautee the onions, garlic, cumin seeds and bay leaf in extra virgin olive oil on medium high for about 5 minutes.

Add the rinsed basmati rice to the pot, letting it lightly toast in the oil for 2-3 minutes. Stir.

Then add 7 cups of water to the pot, and 5 tablespoons of chicken bouillon. I use better than bouillon.

Let it come to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it cook for 25 minutes.

Enjoy!
