Saffron Garlic Arroz

A fragrant and flavorful Spanish-inspired rice dish infused with garlic, saffron, and a touch of olive oil. Perfect as a comforting side or a light main course.

Steps

1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.
2. In a small pot, warm the broth and add the saffron threads to steep.
3. Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant but not browned.
4. Add the drained rice to the garlic and stir to coat the grains with oil.
5. Pour the saffron-infused broth into the rice, season with salt, and bring to a boil.
6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until rice is tender and liquid absorbed.
7. Remove from heat and let it rest covered for 5 minutes.
8. Fluff the rice with a fork, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
