Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter
- 2 cups long-grain white rice, rinsed (e.g., jasmine or basmati)
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional for a kick)
- 5 cups chicken stock
Optional Substitutions:
- Replace chicken stock with vegetable stock for a vegetarian option.
- Use ghee instead of butter for a nutty flavor.
Instructions
Step1: Prepare the Rice
- Begin by rinsing the rice thoroughly. Rinsing removes excess starch and ensures the grains stay fluffy during cooking.
Step2: Sauté for Flavor
- In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
- Add the rice and sauté until it’s golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
Step3: Add Aromatics
- Mix in diced onion, paprika, parsley, garlic powder, and crushed red pepper. Stir well to coat the rice evenly with spices.
Step4: Simmer to Perfection
- Pour in the chicken stock, stir, and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Step5: Serve Hot
- Fluff the rice with a fork and serve immediately. Avoid overcooking to retain its perfect texture.
