What You'll Need

* Yield = 4 Portions

Quantity	Ingredients
1 kg	long-grain rice
100 g	Custom Culinary^® Chef’s Own^™ Pilaf Seasoning
2 Liters	vegetable stock
30 g	cooking oil or butter
50 g	white onion, finely chopped
2-3	cloves garlic, minced
50 g	medium tomato, finely chopped

Preparation

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Drain well.
Heat the cooking oil or butter in a large pot or skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the minced garlic and chopped tomato. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant and softened.
Add the rinsed and drained rice to the pot. Stir well to coat the rice with the oil and aromatics. Toast the rice for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Stir in the Chef’s Own^™ Pilaf Seasoning, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Pour in 2 litres of water or stock. Stir gently to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is fully absorbed.
Once cooked, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains.
Serve hot, along with fried chicken, grilled meat or salad
