Cooking Steps

• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the water and a generous pinch of salt and bring to the boil. • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. • Cook for 12 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender and all the water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
