Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cup heavy cream
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a boil over medium-high heat.
Add the rinsed rice to the boiling broth, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté until fragrant and lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a large mixing bowl and mash it gently with the back of a large spoon or a potato masher until it begins to break down but still retains some texture.
Stir in the sautéed garlic and butter, heavy cream, grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the rice is creamy and fully combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
