Arroz graneado

Arroz graneado or grained rice is a simple Chilean rice dish made with long-grained white rice that is cooked with golden-fried minced garlic and (optionally) carrots. It is traditionally served as a side dish accompanying bigger meals. If desired, the rice can be enriched with onions, bell peppers, or chopped parsley. It is important that the grains remain fluffy and separated, otherwise it is not considered a true arroz graneado.
