  • This week's Genius Recipe features a few humble ingredients -- rice, meyer lemon and garlic -- and gives them a star turn. Michael W. Twitty wrote the book on Rice, and he's sharing one of his favorites here with Kristen. Fluffy, flavorful and very forgiving, this side dish might just steal the show. (Genius tip: try his candied garlic separately to give a slightly sweet, nutty crunch to just about anything!) GET THE RECIPE ►► f52.co/39PjX7o

    My paternal grandmother immigrated here from Armenia in the early in 1913. She brought and knew so many of her mother's recipes. I watched her make rice in her kitchen more than 60 decades ago. She rinsed the rice, the added butter and let the rice simmer for just a bit, never browning it. Meanwhile, she toasted some very thin vermicelli that she broke up into
    1-1/2 long pieces, and then added them to the pot of rice, stirring the rice, vermicelli and lastly adding double the amount of rice as a measure for the chicken broth (ie., 2 cups of rice meant adding 4 cups of chicken broth. She taught me to bring the pot to a boil, and immediately reduce your burner to simmer. 20 minutes later we had the most flavorful perfectly textured rice. The proof is in the result that my rice (made just like my grandma's is adored by both my children, extended family and friends. I have shared this recipe numerous because it so often requested. It's a part of my grandmother who is always a part of me.

    Looks AH-MAZING! I want to try this! My abuela taught me to rinse the rice like you did until water runs "clear" then she toasted the rice in a hot skillet while broth is coming to a boil. Then she would put rice in the broth and cook until done. It's my FAVORITE way to cook rice 🙂 She may be gone, but her spirit lives on through her recipes 😋

    I always sauté my rice in butter until the grains look a bit translucent, then add broth and cook. It always turns out really well, not sticky and with a good flavor. When I had mint in my garden, I would often add mint while I did the sautéing and that was delightful too.

    I like to cook rice in the leftover cooking liquid from making a pot of beans. I make beans from dried in the instant pot, and I flavor them in a few different ways, depending on what I'm making. Once the beans are done, I save the well-seasoned liquid for making rice another day.

    how the rice is made is exactly how the traditional turkish rice (pilav) is made. rice pilav is cooked with the method on the video with a little bit of a variation on cooking time in turkey. it's the biggest culinary consensus in the whole country. aaand boiled or fried chickpeas as a topping on rice pilav is so common, it's actually a widely available street food in most turkish cities. poached or boiled chicken or baked beans are also common and amazing toppings for this kind of rice. both highly recommended. lastly, lightly crisp some but not much orzos (yeah, the pasta) before you put the stock and rice and then keep cooking it with them, it's the simplest addition but gives a much bigger result than its sum.

    I love that Kristen does the Microplane-on-top technique. A further refinement: if you hold the lemon steady and move the Microplane, you can get even better results.

    • @marychristensen8596

      I completely agree, but rolling the lemon around before juicing it does nothing according to experiments done by America's Test Kitchen.

    Re: Washing the rice before cooking... Whenever I do this, the rice invariably ends up even mushier than if I hadn’t washed it. I try to compensate by cooking it in less water than is normally called for and/or cooking for less time, but nothing helps. What am I doing wrong?

      Meyer lemons are sweeter and less sour than the more common variety of lemons. A few recipes I've seen have suggested substituting half lemon and half orange juice if you can't find Meyer lemons.

      Watch the video. It simmers. There is only a cup of stock in a quality All-Clad Pan, it would come to a simmer well before 20 minutes, leaving plenty of time to cook the garlic. Try it. There is nothing wrong with the presentation or directions.
