How to make Rice with corn and parsley:
- We start by washing and draining the rice. There are those who prefer not to wash the rice, but in this way we remove a little of the starch present in the grain and make sure that it is well loosened.
- On the other hand, peel and finely chop the garlic. When chopping the garlic, you will see that in the center there is a darker part, well, so that the rice with corn does not have a very strong garlic flavor, we discard that part.
- Heat oil in a rice cooker and brown the garlic without letting it burn. The best thing to cook rice is a pot that is wider than it is tall.
- Next, add the rice and stir to lightly fry. After a few seconds, add water to the pot, until it covers the rice by more than two fingers, and stir.
- Season with a pinch of salt, add the corn and let it boil. Then, lower the heat to a minimum and cook with the pot partially covered until the water is reduced.
- This process will take approximately 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the type of rice. The rice with corn should be dry and loose.
- When serving, add the finely chopped parsley on top and enjoy! Rice with corn and parsley has a mild and irresistible flavor, which makes it perfect to combine with any type of dish, from roasted chicken to fried fish.
