Ingredients:

• 2 cups rice (basmati rice is best)
• 4 cups water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 bay leaf

Procedure:

1. Put all the ingredients into a heavy bottomed pot, stir well, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook over low heat until the rice has absorbed the water, about 15 to 20 minutes. (check and stir with wooden spoon every 5 minutes.)
3. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Discard the garlic and bay leaf, fluff with a fork, and serve.
