Scale

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups long-grain rice
  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat the Butter and Olive Oil: In a medium saucepan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Toast Rice: Stir in the rice, and cook for 1-2 minutes to toast it lightly.
  4. Add Broth: Pour in the chicken broth and add salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  5. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Rest and Fluff: Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff the rice with a fork.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
