Report
Leave the boxed rice on the shelf! Homemade Rice Pilaf is so easy to make and flat out better for you than boxed rice mixes. I love that I have complete control over the ingredients and know exactly what is in this versatile side dish.

Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter unsalted
- ½ cup yellow onion finely diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- ½ cup carrot slivered
- ½ cup peas frozen
- 1 ½ cups long grain rice rinsed until water runs clear
- 3 cups chicken broth
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- flat-leaf parsley garnish, freshly chopped, Italian
Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Saute 1/2 cup finely diced yellow onion and 1 tablespoon freshly minced garlic for about a minute. Add in 1/2 cup shredded carrot and 1/2 cup frozen peas. Give it a stir and add 1 1/2 cups long grain rice. Cook until the rice is lightly browned. Browning the rice brings out a nice nutty flavor.
- Pour in 3 cups chicken broth and stir to combine. Bring this mixture to a boil, cover with a tight fitting lid, and reduce the heat to a simmer.
- Simmer for 15 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and allow to rest, covered, for at least 5 minutes.
- Give the rice a taste and add salt and pepper to your liking. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and enjoy!
