Ingredients:

  • 4 Tbsp butter
  • 2 – 3 cloves garlic – minced (about 1 Tbsp)
  • 1 C long grain rice
  • 1 C water
  • 1 C milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/3 C parmesan cheese – grated
  • 1/2 tsp parsley – optional
  • splash of milk – if desired

Directions:

  1. In a medium sized saucepan, over medium heat, sauté garlic in butter until fragrant – about 3 – 4 minutes
  2. Add rice and stir to coat in butter
  3. Add water, milk and salt then bring to a boil
  4. Reduce heat to low
  5. Cover and cook for 20 minutes or until rice is tender, stirring occasionally – don’t mess around with your rice too much – just stir occasionally to make sure it’s not sticking to the bottom
  6. Stir in parmesan cheese and if using, parsley
  7. Taste for salt and add more if necessary
  8. Cover, turn off heat and let rest for 5 minutes

Notes:

  1. If you would like yours to be even creamier, add a splash of milk
