Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 3 tablespoons vegan butter
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of vegan butter over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the melted butter. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
Step 4
Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and stir to coat in the buttery garlic and onion mixture, cooking for about 2 minutes.
Step 5
Pour in the vegetable broth, add salt, and ground black pepper. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil.
Step 6
Once boiling, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all the liquid has been absorbed.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to allow the rice to steam and become fluffy.
Step 8
Remove the lid, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of vegan butter, and gently fluff the rice with a fork.
Step 9
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm. Enjoy your Vegan Butter Rice as a delicious side or as a main dish.
