Perfect Rice with Cilantro

Rinse the rice under running water until the water runs clear.

Heat water in a kettle.

Sauté the onion and garlic in oil in a pot.

Add the rice to the pot and sauté for a few minutes.

Add the chopped cilantro to the pot and mix.

Add the hot water until it covers the rice (approximately one inch above the rice level).

Add the salt and stir.

Cook on low heat with the pot slightly ajar for 18-20 minutes.

Once cooked, cover the pot and let it rest for 5 minutes with the heat turned off.
