Ingredients
- 2 2 cups long-grain white rice like Basmati, rinsed
- 4 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 1 Tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¾-1 ¾-1 teaspoon kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 3 ½ 3 ½ cups vegetable stock
- 1 1 teaspoon vegetable bouillon
- fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- I highly recommend taking a minute to rinse the rice before starting; it will help keep the grains from clumping together and removes any dust/dirt.
- Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once it starts to bubble and add the rice and stir to coat. Toast 2-3 minutes until it starts to become fragrant.
- Add the dried spices, herbs, and salt. Take note of the amount of salt in the vegetable stock and bouillon you're using to determine how much salt to add. For full sodium varieties, add around 3/4 teaspoon, for low sodium varieties, you may want to add up to 1 teaspoon.
- Add the vegetable stock and extra vegetable bouillon to the pan and stir to combine.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium to medium-low; you'll want it to be a low boil or simmer, but not too fast or the bottom of the rice will burn. Cover the pan and cook for 15 minutes without opening the lid.
- After 15 minutes, turn off the heat and let the rice sit for another 10 minutes - still covered. Fluff with a fork and serve. Garnish with fresh parsley as desired.
