Rice Pilaf

Ingredients :

White rice	2 cups
Unsalted butter	2 tablespoons
Onion	1
Garlic clove,	1
Chicken broth	2 cups
Water	1/4 cup
Kosher salt	1 1/4 teaspoons
Parsley leaves	1/4 cup

Directions :

1.       Place the rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear; set aside.

2.       Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.

3.       Add the rinsed rice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the kernels crackle, about 2 minutes. Add the stock or broth, water, and measured salt and stir to combine. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil.

 

4.       Reduce the heat to low, cover with a tightfitting lid, and simmer undisturbed until the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit covered to steam, about 5 minutes.

5.       Fluff with a fork and stir in the parsley.

6.       Taste and season with additional salt as needed.
