Herb Butter Rice Recipes

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.
