Herbed Butter Garlic Rice is an easy, savory side dish made with white rice, garlic, Italian parsley, and butter that comes together in less than 30 minutes. Perfect for your favorite saucy entrée!
Add oil and rice to a small sauce pan. Sauté on medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring often so the rice doesn't burn. Once the rice starts to turn golden, add the garlic, cook for a minute and then add the broth, parsley, butter, salt and pepper. Bring to boil, then reduce the heat to low, put the lid on and simmer for 18 minutes.
After 18 minutes, turn off the heat and let the rice sit untouched for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, fluff rice with a fork. Digging in with a spoon can mash the rice and make it gummy. Feel free to garnish with some fresh parsley. Enjoy!
Notes
Once cooled, store leftover rice in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
