One Pot recipes are easy and a great way to limit clean up in the kitchen. This is especially handy in a small Caribbean kitchen.
I found this brown Basmati rice at Pricemart for around $8, which I think is a steal. When I keep regular brown rice on hand, I never remember to start it on time and end up going for a grain like quinoa that takes less cooking time. What I really love about it is that it is pre-cooked and only takes less than 15 minutes to prepare.
If you don’t have pre-cooked rice on hand, you can still make this recipe you will just need to add another 1/4-1/2 cup water and simmer for 30-45 minutes until rice is fully cooked.

- 1 tbsp diced garlic
- 1 tbsp olive oil
