Description
Garlic Butter Rice is a comforting side dish made with simple ingredients that brings a delightful flavor to any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of rice (jasmine or basmati)
- 2 cups of water or chicken broth
- 3 tablespoons of butter
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- Salt to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a saucepan, bring the water or chicken broth to a boil.
- Add the rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
- Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and pour the garlic butter over the rice.
- Stir to combine and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
Stir often while cooking to prevent sticking. For a creamier texture, let the rice sit covered for a few extra minutes after cooking.
