Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion (diced (225g))
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1½ cups long-grain white rice ((270g))
  • 3 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth ((720mL))
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons chopped parsley

Directions

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    Remove the lid, and the parsley, and fluff the cooked rice with a fork, stirring in the parsley as you fluff. Serve immediately.
