Boiled Rice, Brazilian style

I have learnt to make this recipe with Betania, my girlfriend, this dish is for her.

Ingredients: (per 2 person)

1 cup of rice (2 1/4 water cups)
1 glove of garlic
1/2 small onion
some salt
some olive oil or oil
optional (chicken soup cubes)

Cooking:

Wash the rice. Chop the garlic and the onion. Heat oil in a cook pot in medium fire,
Add it and remove until getting a golden color. Meanwhile wash the rice.
When the mixture is ready add the rice and remove.
Add the cups of water and remove. Leave alone for 15 minutes
Taste if the rice is ready, it will be ready when you listen the rice frying in instead of boiling.
In that point, swicth off the fire and put the cover cook pot. Leave to settle a couple of minutes.
