Ingredients:

Serving

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

Directions:

Heat medium 3-quart pot over medium-high heat with oil. Add minced garlic. Cook for 2 minutes. Don't burn garlic. Lightly brown.
Add rice. Constantly toss and stir to coat rice with garlic and oil and lightly toast rice.
Add chicken stock, curry powder and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover on simmer til rice has absorbed liquid (about 20 minutes).
During last 5 minutes of cooking rice, remove lid, add butter, rosemary and parsley. Stir. Recover.
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.
Just before serving, add lemon zest to pot and toss to combine all ingredients. Salt and pepper to taste.
