Ingredients
- 2 cups long-grain white rice
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the rice under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents clumping.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the rice to the saucepan and stir to coat the grains in the melted butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is lightly toasted.
Step 4
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, stirring to combine.
Step 5
Stir in the onion powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, dried thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
Step 7
Allow the rice to simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Step 8
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Fluff the seasoned rice with a fork and serve warm as a side dish or base for your favorite meals.
