How to Make Arroz Blanco Ii

  1. Lightly smash 4 large cloves of garlic with the flat side of a large knife. Peel and halve any large cloves; leave small cloves whole.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 cup of long-grain white rice and stir constantly for 1 minute until lightly toasted.
  4. Pour in 2 cups of hot chicken broth (or other flavorful broth) and add the garlic cloves. Bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
  6. Add the remaining 2 cups of hot chicken broth. Return to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for another 15 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
  7. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5-10 minutes to allow the rice to steam and absorb any remaining liquid.
  8. Fluff with a fork and serve hot alongside your favorite Mexican dishes!
