GARLIC BUTTER RICE

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium-sized pot over medium heat. Add garlic and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir in rice to coat with the garlic butter.
• Add broth, dried parsley, salt and pepper. Stir well and bring to a boil.
• Cover with lid and reduce heat to low so the liquid is simmering very gently. Cook until all liquid has been absorbed, about 15 minutes.
• Uncover and stir through fresh parsley.
• Remove from heat, cover with lid and let stand 5-10 minutes, until soft.
• Fluff rice with a fork. Stir through remaining butter and season with a little extra salt, pepper and dried parsley.
• Garnish with some fresh chopped parsley.

GARLIC BUTTER RICE

Steps:

• Melt the butter or margarine in a 10" skillet over med-high heat.
• Add the rice and stir.
• Add the bouillon cube(s) and stir until softened or dissolved.
• I use a spoon and break the bouillon cube(s) apart while it is dissolving so that it dissolves faster.
• Watch closely so that the rice does not start to brown.
• You might need to lower the heat if the rice starts to brown or appears to be cooking too fast.
• Add the water and stir.
• Cover with a lid and bring it to a boil.
• Lower the heat to med to med-low and cook for 10 minutes or until rice is almost tender and a lot, but not all, of the water/butter mixture has been absorbed.
• This comes out better if it is "slow cooked".
• Add the garlic and stir.
• Put the lid back on the skillet and continue cooking for 5 more minutes or until the rice is tender and all of the water has been absorbed.
• There may still be some melted butter at the bottom of the skillet, but that is okay.
• Stir well and turn the burner off.
• Let the skillet sit on the burner until you are ready to serve the rice.

GARLIC BUTTER

Steps:

• Stir the butter, garlic and parsley, if using, together in a small bowl. Season with a little salt (only if using unsalted butter) and black pepper. If the butter is too cold to mix, warm the ingredients in a small pan until melted and combined, then leave to cool. Will keep for up to one week in the fridge.

GARLIC BUTTER RICE AND VEGGIES

Steps:

• Bring water and rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Refrigerator 8 hours to overnight.
• Melt butter in a large frying pan or wok over low heat. Add onion and garlic; cook until onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add bacon and frozen vegetables; fry until bacon is cooked through, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Add cold rice and stir until rice is completely coated in butter. Season with salt and pepper and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

GARLIC RICE

Steps:

• Peel garlic, then use a Microplane to grate cloves into a small bowl. Set aside. In a medium pot over medium-high heat, add oil and butter. Heat until butter is melted and frothy, 1-2 minutes, then add garlic and stir until fragrant and lightly golden, 1-2 minutes. Add rice and stir so each individual grain is coated in the butter and oil. Scrape down the sides of the pot and toast rice, 30 seconds.
• Add water and salt and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer. Cover the pot with foil to prevent any steam from escaping, then place a lid over the foil and simmer, 20 minutes. Remove pot from heat and allow rice to continue steaming, covered, 10 minutes.
• Taste the rice. If rice is undercooked, drizzle 2-3 tablespoons water on top, but don't stir it in; cover the pot again and simmer on lowest heat, 5-10 minutes. Fluff the rice in the pot with a wooden spoon and serve.
• When serving, leave rice that sticks to bottom of the pot. Turn the heat to high and let the oil fry the rice till crispy, 5 minutes. (This is a special chef's snack called concolon!)
