    Delicious way to perk up the family dinner. Love the garlic and this will compliment almost anything. My salmon was sure happy with it. I always cook rice as V suggested and it always comes out perfect. Thanks Reds :D

    This is a great rice dish and it was so easy to make. I followed the suggestion of Chef V and let the rice sit 5 minutes off the burner and it worked wonderfully. It was very fluffy and I love the flavor of the garlic in this. I will make this again. Thanks for sharing!

    This is alot like how I make my Fluffy Rice Pilaf, except for the garlic. This turned out wonderful. Loved the addition of garlic flavor. The key to this rice is to let it sit for at least 5 minutes off the burner covered. Lets the steam make the rice fluffy. Great Recipe Reds, will make again and again! Thanks for sharing. ~V
