Description
A simple yet flavorful side dish featuring fluffy rice, caramelized onions, and garlic, enriched with butter or broth.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup long-grain rice (Basmati or Jasmine)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 medium yellow onions, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until golden-brown, about 10-12 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the rinsed rice to the skillet, stir to combine, and pour in the broth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
- Remove from heat and let sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
For a vegan option, substitute olive oil for butter and use vegetable broth. You can also try using brown rice for added fiber.
