Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup long grain white rice
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 8 ounces chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
  • 8 ounces whole milk (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Rinse the long grain white rice in a fine mesh sieve under cool running water until it runs clear to remove excess starch.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter until shimmering. Add minced garlic and sauté until light golden brown, about one minute.
  3. Stir in rinsed rice, chicken broth, whole milk, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer before covering tightly and reducing heat to low. Cook for 18-20 minutes until liquid is absorbed.
  4. After cooking, let the rice rest covered for 5 minutes. Then fluff gently with a fork and mix in freshly grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
