Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup long-grain rice (basmati or jasmine)
- 2 cups vegetable broth
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent (about 5 minutes). Stir in minced garlic for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the long-grain rice to the saucepan, stirring well to coat the grains in oil. Toast for about 2-3 minutes until slightly golden.
- Carefully pour in vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil while stirring gently.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover tightly. Simmer for 18-20 minutes until all liquid is absorbed.
- Remove from heat but leave covered for an additional five minutes. Fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving warm.
