Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups chicken consommé (or beef consommé, canned or fresh)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 yellow onion, finely diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. Drain well and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the finely diced onion to the saucepan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the rinsed and drained rice to the saucepan and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, to lightly toast the rice and coat it with the butter mixture.
Carefully pour in the chicken (or beef) consommé and stir to combine.
Add the salt and black pepper, then bring the mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and let the rice cook undisturbed for 18-20 minutes or until the liquid is fully absorbed and the rice is tender.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes.
Fluff the rice gently with a fork and garnish with fresh chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a flavorful side dish or enjoy on its own.
