Rice Pilaf Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large saucepan, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

2. 2

   Toast the Rice

   Add the long-grain rice to the saucepan. Stir well to coat the rice with the butter and oil, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until the rice is lightly toasted.

3. 3

   Add Broth and Seasoning

   Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, and add salt and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

4. 4

   Simmer the Rice

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.

5. 5

   Fluff and Serve

   Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
