Servings: persons

1 cup basmati rice
1 3/4 cups chicken stock (or vegetable for vegan)
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon curry powder
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 lemon, zest of
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon butter
salt and pepper
extra virgin olive oil, for last-minute dressing

1
Heat medium 3-quart pot over medium-high heat with oil. Add minced garlic. Cook for 2 minutes. Don't burn garlic. Lightly brown.
2
Add rice. Constantly toss and stir to coat rice with garlic and oil and lightly toast rice.
3
Add chicken stock, curry powder and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover on simmer til rice has absorbed liquid (about 20 minutes).
4
During last 5 minutes of cooking rice, remove lid, add butter, rosemary and parsley. Stir. Recover.
5
If liquid is absorbed, reduce heat to low and keep warm. If rice appears dry, add small amount of olive oil. I recommend doing this anyway, as the Extra Virgin Olive Oil adds wonderful flavor.
6
Just before serving, add lemon zest to pot and toss to combine all ingredients. Salt and pepper to taste.
