Tips for Making Creamy Garlic and Parmesan Rice:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Choose a flavorful rice, such as basmati or jasmine, and use freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the rice. This will prevent the rice from cooking evenly and becoming mushy.
  • Toast the rice in the butter before adding the liquid. This will help to develop the flavor of the rice and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Use a flavorful broth to cook the rice. Chicken broth or vegetable broth are both good options.
  • Add the garlic and Parmesan cheese towards the end of the cooking time. This will prevent the garlic from burning and the Parmesan cheese from becoming rubbery.
  • Season the rice to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve the rice immediately, while it is still hot and creamy.

Creamy garlic and Parmesan rice is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion.
