Garlic Butter Rice

Garlic Butter Rice

By Rosalee Murphy

Total: 25 minutes
Side DishVegetarianGluten-Free

Ingredients

  • 1 cup long grain white rice
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley

Instructions

1

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming sticky.

2

Mince the garlic cloves finely.

3

In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant and slightly golden, about 1-2 minutes.

4

Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and stir well to coat the rice grains with the garlic butter.

5

Pour in the water and add the salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

6

Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 15 minutes.

7

After 15 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat. Let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to allow the rice to finish cooking through.

8

Fluff the rice with a fork and gently stir in the chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm.
