Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped onions
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 cup converted or parboiled rice
1 1/2 cups fresh or canned chicken broth or water
3 parsley sprigs
1 sprig fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a saucepan and add onions and garlic. Cook, stirring, until wilted. Add rice and stir briefly over low heat until grains are coated with the butter.
  • Stir in the broth, making sure there are no lumps in the rice. Add the parsley, thyme and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, cover with a close-fitting lid and simmer for 17 minutes.
  • Remove the cover and discard the parsley, thyme and bay leaf. Using a fork, stir in the remaining butter. If the rice is not served immediately, keep covered in a warm place.
