Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup long-grain white rice rinsed
- 2 cups vegetable broth low-sodium
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped (optional, fresh
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
- Stir in the rinsed rice and cook for another 2 minutes, toasting it slightly while stirring continuously.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then, fluff with a fork and, if desired, stir in the fresh parsley before serving.
