Herbed Butter Garlic Rice
Description
Herbed Butter Garlic Rice starts by sautéing long-grain white rice in olive oil until it begins to turn golden. Minced garlic is added and cooked briefly to release its aroma. The rice is then simmered with vegetable broth, butter, salt, freshly ground black pepper, and chopped fresh parsley. The gentle simmer allows the rice to absorb the flavorful broth while softening to a tender consistency without becoming mushy.
The final dish showcases a delicate balance of savory butter and garlic enhanced by fresh herbs. The parsley adds brightness and color, complementing the rich butter and warm spices. The texture is fluffy with each grain separated and lightly coated with melted butter.
This herbed rice pairs well with roasted or grilled meats, vegetable dishes, and can be served as a simple side for everyday meals. The preparation is straightforward and suits cooks looking to add flavor to plain rice without overwhelming it.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 2 cups vegetable broth or chicken broth
- 2 tbsp parsley chopped, fresh
- 3 garlic minced, cloves
- 3 tbsp. butter
- 1/2-3/4 tsp. salt
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Add oil and rice to a small sauce pan. Sauté on medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring often so the rice doesn't burn.

Bring to boil, then reduce the heat to low, put the lid on and simmer for 18 minutes.
