    This is a very simple side dish that goes really well with any sort of grilled fish or meat. My wife is asian american and we eat rice 4-5 nights a week. This is a way to give it a unique flavor...kids love it. Try this with my Salmon Grilled with Lemon Pepper & Garlic We use 50/50 brown and white rice for health reasons...all brown or all white both work too.

    Ingredients

    • 1-2 cups jasmine or basmati long-grain white rice
    • 1-2 cups short grain brown rice
    • 1-2 Tbsp olive oil
    • 1 heaping Tbsp chopped garlic (fresh or refrigerated) (use 2-3 Tbsp if you love garlic!)
    • Garlic salt or Kosher salt to taste

    Directions

    1. Cook rice in a rice cooker or on stove.
    2. When rice is done, add olive oil to a large saute or frying pan and heat over medium high heat.
    3. Add garlic and saute for 1 minute
    4. Add rice to pan and saute, stirring/turning every 3-5 minutes for 8-10 minutes.
    5. Add garlic salt or Kosher salt to taste.
    6. If you like, you can add a half cup of finely chopped yellow onion or scallions to the pan and saute for 2-3 minutes before adding the garlic. I used to do this, but our kids don't like the onions and try to pick around them so I started leaving them out. It is great either way!

        I loved this rice! It had too much garlic for my husband though! I didn't add the brown rice...I didn't feel like waiting for it to cook. Really good though!

          Glad you liked it Anne. FYI...I cook 50/50 brown and white rice for the same amount of time I cook normal white rice (in a rice cooker). Try it sometime. It still tastes wonderful and is more healthful.
