Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon parsley (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Rinse the rice under cold water in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch, ensuring fluffy rice.
In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter melts.
Add the minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté for 30 seconds or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Stir in the rinsed rice and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to lightly toast the grains and coat them in the butter and oil mixture.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the salt. Stir to combine and increase the heat to high to bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Simmer for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
After 15 minutes, turn off the heat and let the rice sit covered for an additional 5 minutes to absorb any remaining liquid.
Remove the lid and fluff the rice gently with a fork. If desired, sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a burst of freshness.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
