Side dish of white rice
This rice dish is so easy to make with the Thermomix®. What surprises me is how well it always turns out. Haven't you tried it? Are you intimidated by rice dishes? This is a great basic recipe to start with.
It's cooked in the steamer basket, with water entering through each hole. It's constantly washed this way, resulting in a loose rice that releases its starch into the water.
You can use the water from the starch to make soup or discard it. If you like, you can flavor the rice by sautéing garlic… there are a thousand possibilities. They all turn out delicious .
I always prepare this recipe the same way - the way I learned to do it - but you can put all the ingredients together and program 20-22 minutes, 100ºC, speed 4. That way you save yourself a step :DDD.
50g of extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves of garlic
1 liter of water
2 stock cubes or salt
up to 350g of rice
Put the oil and garlic in the bowl and program 4 minutes, Varoma, speed 3-1/2.
Add the water and salt and mix for 10 seconds, speed 6.
Put the basket inside the bowl and program 7 minutes, Varoma, speed 4 (boil the water).
Pour the rice through the lid opening and program 13 minutes, Varoma temperature, speed 4. (Stir the rice with the spatula from time to time).
It's a great accompaniment to meats in sauce, meatballs, or Cuban-style rice. There are countless combinations.
-It keeps for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
