Aromatics & Butter

Method

Rice Base

  1. 1

    Rinse 1 cup long-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Measure 2 cups water; set aside.

Aromatics & Butter

  1. 3

    In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter over medium heat.

  2. 4

    Add 1 medium onion, finely chopped; sauté until translucent and tender, about 3–4 minutes.

  3. 5

    Add 2 cloves garlic, minced; cook 30–60 seconds until fragrant.

  4. 6

    Stir the rinsed rice into the butter and aromatics, coating the grains.

Final Cooking

  1. 7

    Pour the 2 cups water and 0.5 teaspoon salt into the rice mixture; bring to a gentle boil.

  2. 8

    Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15–18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  3. 9

    Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and season to taste.
