Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups long-grain rice
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian version)
- 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- 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.
- Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the rice, and cook for 1-2 minutes to toast it lightly.
- Pour in the chicken broth and add salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
- 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.
- Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff the rice with a fork.
- Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
