2 cups long-grain rice 
4 cups water 
2 cloves garlic, smashed 
1 teaspoon turmeric 
1 teaspoon kosher salt 
1 bay leaf
Put all the ingredients into a heavy bottomed pot, stir well, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook over low heat until the rice has absorbed the water, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Discard the garlic and bay leaf, fluff with a fork, and serve.
Yield: 8 servings
