Ingredients

• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet or saucepan with a lid over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the olive oil and butter to the pan and let the butter melt completely.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh rosemary.

Step 4

Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic burn.

Step 5

Add the rice to the pan and stir for 2 minutes to lightly toast it.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth, add the chopped rosemary, salt, and black pepper, and stir to combine.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid.

Step 8

Let the rice cook for 15 minutes, or until the liquid is fully absorbed and the rice is tender. Do not remove the lid during this time.

Step 9

Turn off the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to steam.

Step 10

Remove the lid, fluff the rice with a fork, and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until evenly combined.

Step 11

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and serve hot.
