📝 Preparation Steps
1
No need to rinse the rice. The rice will be fluffy because this recipe uses the right ratio: 1.5 cups liquid for every 1 cup of rice.
2
Sauté garlic - Melt half the butter in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Once foamy, add the garlic and cook for ⏱️ 30 seconds until it turns light golden.
3
Coat rice - Add the rice and stir for ⏱️ 30 seconds or until the grains turn translucent.
4
Simmer - Add stock and salt. Turn heat up to high, then once the water starts bubbling, put the lid on and immediately turn the stove down to low (or medium low, if your stove is weak/small). (Note 5)
5
Cook ⏱️ 15 minutes - Cook the rice for ⏱️ 15 minutes. No stirring, don't lift the lid.
6
Rest ⏱️ 10 minutes - Tilt the saucepan and have a quick peek to ensure all the water is absorbed. Then remove off the stove, with the lid still on, and rest for ⏱️ 10 minutes.
7
Fluff rice, then fluff through remaining butter until melted. Toss through parsley, then tumble into serving dish. Sprinkle with extra parsley then serve!
