Rice With Onions Garlic And Herbs Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add the rice and 1 tablespoon of the salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain through a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Shake the sieve to drain as much water as possible.
• Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the rice and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir with a heatproof rubber spatula to coat all the rice with the butter. Once the rice is warmed through, about 3 minutes, transfer the rice to a serving bowl and add the herbs plus additional salt, if needed. Stir with a fork to incorporate and fluff the rice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Combine the first 4 ingredients in a food processor and puree.
• Put the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat and add the rice, stirring for a few minutes.
• Stir in all but 1 tablespoon of the onion mixture, add the salt and pepper, and cook for a couple minutes stirring.
• Add the stock and bring to a boil.
• Cover and turn heat to medium/low cooking until liquid is absorbed, about 15-20 minutes.
• Stir in the reserved tablespoon of the onion mixture and serve.

Steps:

• Using chicken broth [or water for Vegetarian], cook the rice according to the package directions.
• About 15 minutes before the rice is ready, melt the butter in a skillet over medium low heat.
