Rice Pilaf
This is a heavy hitting take on the classic rice pilaf. It is the perfect side dish with a lot of really great technique.
Ingredients
- 100 g 1 small onion, grated
- 20 g or 4-5 cloves garlic, minced/pressed
- 75 g or 2.6oz angel hair pasta, snapped into 1”/2.5cm pieces
- 175 g or 1c jasmine rice, rinsed and drained until water runs clear
- 75 g or 6T butter
- 12 g or 2.5t coarse salt
- 20 g or 1T better than bouillon (chicken)
- 650 g or 2 2/3c chicken stock
- Lemon
- Parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Heat a large heavy bottomed pot or dutch oven over medium and add butter.
- When melted, add broken pasta.
- Fry in the butter for 2-3 minutes until the pasta is toasted to a light golden color. Add in the rinsed rice and continue to toast until the rice is becoming translucent, making sure to not burn the pasta.
- Add grated onions, minced garlic, and salt and continue to cook for 3-4 minutes over medium. Add better than bouillon and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover with a lid and cook for 15 minutes.
- Turn off heat and let the pot continue to sit, covered, for 10 more minutes.
- Finish by folding in a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and chopped parsley.
