Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked long-grain rice, rinsed until water runs clear
  • 2 cups broth (My homemade broth is unsalted)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh sage, finely chopped

Instructions

Instructions:

  1. Measure rice & rinse under running water until water runs clear.
  2. Bring broth and salt to a boil in a large saucepan, then add rice.

  3. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 15-18 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Then remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.

  4. While rice stands, melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic & chopped fresh sage. Sauté 2 minutes or until garlic is softened, fragrant & garlic is golden.

  5. Add buttered garlic mixture to rice, toss well & serve.

Recipe Notes

Options:

  • Finely chopped or shredded carrot can be added with the rice while cooking to add color.
  • Finely chopped onion sautéed along with the garlic is a nice addition.
