Texas Roadhouse Seasoned Rice
Description
This recipe begins by melting butter and toasting rinsed rice until it turns golden, which adds a nutty aroma and a slight firmness to the grains. Diced yellow onion and a blend of spices—paprika, dried parsley, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper—are stirred in to coat the rice and build layers of flavor.
Chicken stock is then added and brought to a boil before lowering the heat to simmer. The rice cooks covered for 25–30 minutes to absorb the liquid while remaining moist and slightly loose, avoiding an overcooked mushy consistency.
The spice combination offers mild warmth and a subtle kick that enhances the rice’s natural taste, making this dish a versatile side for many entrées like grilled chicken or barbecue dishes.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter 1 stick
- 2 cups long-grain white rice rinsed
- 1 yellow onion diced
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon parsley dried
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 5 cups chicken stock
Instructions
- In a large saucepan over medium-high, melt butter.
- Add rice and saute until browned (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add onion, paprika, parsley, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper. Mix until combined.
- Add chicken stock, mix, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 25-30 minutes, or until rice has softened and most of the liquid is absorbed. (Be careful not to overcook; it should still be a little wet-looking.) Serve immediately.
