Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice (jasmine or basmati recommended)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
  • 2 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about one minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the rinsed rice until well-coated in the garlic butter mixture.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until all liquid is absorbed.
  5. Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
