Garlic Butter Rice

Step 1

Cut half of the garlic cloves into thin slices. Mince the other half of the garlic.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and let it cook for 3-4 minutes, until it’s golden. Reduce the heat if the butter begins to brown. Using a slotted spoon, remove the garlic from the pot.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the pot and let it cook for 1 minute. Add the basmati rice, broth, salt, and pepper and stir the pot. Bring the pot to a boil then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for 12 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the pot from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Fluff the rice with a fork then serve topped with the cooked sliced garlic and some green onions.
