Method
- Rinse the rice until the water runs mostly clear. Peel and finely chop the garlic.
- Bring rice and vegetable stock to a boil, cover and cook over very low heat for about 12–15 minutes or according to your rice variety.
- Add the peas for the final 5 minutes; frozen peas can be added directly. Add a splash of hot water if the pan runs dry.
- Remove from heat, stir through the chopped garlic, cover and rest 5 minutes. Fluff and check the rice is fully cooked.
- Before serving, check: Taste several grains at the stated time. There should be no hard, chalky centre. If the pot is dry, add a splash of hot water.
