Ingredients
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 3 Tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2¼ cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup whole milk
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Begin by rinsing the white rice in a fine mesh strainer until water runs clear. Set aside.
- Heat a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the garlic, cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often.
- Add the drained rice and stir to toast it for 2 minutes. Add the salt and chicken broth. Increase heat to high until the mixture reaches a low boil. Then reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and set a timer for 18 minutes. Turn off the heat, leave the lid on, and let the rice rest for 10 minutes before removing lid.
- Stir in the parmesan cheese. Heat the milk in the microwave in 30 seconds increments until warm. Once the cheese is melted, stir in the warm milk. Serve immediately.
