Ingredients

Scale

Rice and Butter

  • 1/2 cup Butter
  • 2 cups long-grain white rice (rinsed)

Seasonings

  • 1 Small White Onion (diced)
  • 1 Tbsp Paprika
  • 2 Tbsp Dried Parsley
  • 1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 tsp Red Pepper Flakes (Optional)

Liquid

  • 4 cups Chicken Broth

Instructions

  1. Melt Butter: Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat to create a rich base for the rice.
  2. Brown Rice: Add the rinsed long-grain white rice to the melted butter and cook, stirring frequently, until the rice becomes golden brown, about 4-6 minutes. This step adds a toasty flavor.
  3. Add Seasonings: Stir in the diced white onion, paprika, dried parsley, garlic powder, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined and aromatic.
  4. Add Broth and Boil: Pour in the chicken broth and stir to combine everything thoroughly. Increase heat to bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
  5. Simmer the Rice: Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the rice simmer gently for 22-25 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
  6. Rest the Rice: Turn off the heat and keep the pot covered. Let the rice sit undisturbed for 5 minutes to finish cooking and to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Fluff and Serve: Remove the lid, fluff the rice gently with a fork to separate grains, and serve warm as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • Rinsing the rice before cooking removes excess starch for fluffier results.
  • Optionally, adjust red pepper flakes to your heat preference or omit for no spice.
  • Use chicken broth for best savory flavor; vegetable broth is a good substitute for a vegetarian version.
  • For added richness, a small amount of diced bell pepper or fresh herbs can be mixed in after cooking.
  • Keep the lid on during simmering and resting to ensure perfectly cooked rice.
