Ingredients
- ½ cup Butter
- 2 cups long-grain white rice rinsed
- 2 shallots minced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 4 cups chicken broth
- ½ cup fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- Begin by rinsing the rice under cold water. This step removes excess starch and helps the rice cook up fluffy, not sticky.
- In a large pan or skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced shallots and garlic, sautéing until they become fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes.½ cup Butter, 2 shallots, 3 garlic cloves
- Stir in the rinsed rice and spices, and cook it for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently. You want the rice to slightly toast, which enhances the flavor.2 cups long-grain white rice, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.4 cups chicken broth
- Remove the pan from the heat. Let the rice sit, covered, for another 5 minutes to steam. Fluff the rice with a fork, then stir in the fresh parsley before serving.½ cup fresh parsley
