How to Make Arroz Blanco

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

  4. Add 1 cup long-grain white rice and 2 cups vegetable broth.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to combine.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
  7. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
  8. Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
