Directions

20 min.
1. Step

Rinse the rice under cool water until the water runs clear. This helps to get rid of excess starch and stops the rice from being clumpy.

2. Step

In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the oil and butter over medium heat.

3. Step

Add the finely chopped garlic and sauté until lightly golden brown.

4. Step

Add the rinsed rice and stir to combine with the garlic. Continue stirring for another 2-3 minutes to lightly toast the rice.

5. Step

Pour in water, salt, and black pepper. Stir well.

6. Step

Cover the saucepan and reduce the heat to low. Let the rice cook for about 15 minutes without uncovering the saucepan.

7. Step

After 15 minutes, turn off the heat. Let the rice sit for another 5 minutes with the lid still on.

8. Step

Remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork.

9. Step

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
