Rice Pilaf
Rice Pilaf is an easy and flavorful side dish made with fluffy long-grain rice, perfect alongside any main course.
Equipment
- large skillet
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced (225g)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups long-grain white rice (270g)
- 3 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth (720mL)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring constantly, until the rice begins to turn lightly golden, about 4 minutes.
- Stir in the broth, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then cover with the lid, and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Remove the lid, and the parsley, and fluff the cooked rice with a fork, stirring in the parsley as you fluff. Serve immediately.
Notes
My recipe is a great starting point, but you can add more flavor like turmeric, cumin, and cinnamon. Change herbs as desired. Do not peek while simmering, and let the rice sit covered for 5 minutes after cooking for fluffiness.
