Scale

Ingredients:

1 cup rice
2 cups water
4 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped parsley

  • 1 cup rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh sieve until the water runs clear.

  3. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  4. While the rice is cooking, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  5. Stir in the parsley, salt, and pepper.
  6. Pour the garlic butter over the cooked rice and toss to combine.
  7. Serve immediately.
