I hated rice when I was younger, but later found out it was because my grandma used short grain horrible rice and boiled it. This is how my husband showed me how to make rice.

On the stove heat olive oil, to the olive oil add salt, pepper and onion. Sweat onion until translucent. Add garlic, cook for a few minutes, keep a good eye on the garlic, it has a lot of sugar and burns quickly. Add the rice in and stir. You will see the edges of the rice turn an opaque white color. Some of the rice might even turn a golden brown, that is fine. Then add your chicken broth in. While the rice is cooking I will warm my chicken broth in the microwave. Stir the rice and chicken broth together. Wait for it to come to a boil. Stir, turn off the heat, cover with a tight lid (if you do not have a lid, cover tightly with aluminium foil) and set to the side for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes take off lid and use a fork to fluff rice. It will come out fluffy and light and flavorful.
