Basmati Rice Pilaf Recipe
Ingredients List
-
1 ½ cups chicken stock
-
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
-
¼ cup finely diced onion
-
1 bay leaf
-
1 cup uncooked basmati rice
-
salt to taste
-
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
-
Heat chicken stock in a saucepan over medium heat until it begins to boil, then keep it warm for later use.
-
In a 2-quart saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and bay leaf, cooking until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
-
Add basmati rice to the saucepan and stir to coat the rice with the oil and onion mixture.
-
Pour the hot chicken stock into the rice mixture. Season with salt and stir well.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
-
Remove the pan from heat, discard the bay leaf, and stir in butter. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
