Arroz com manteiga e alho

Ingredientes

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter (half a stick)
• 1/2 cup long-grain white rice (avoid instant)
• 1 1/2 cups water
• 2 tsp chicken bouillon paste
• 4 garlic cloves (finely minced)

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   In a large skillet, heat the butter over medium heat until it fully melts and becomes bubbly.

2. 2

   Stir in the long-grain white rice and cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes, or until the rice turns a light golden color.

3. 3

   Pour in the water and chicken bouillon paste, stirring until the bouillon dissolves completely.

4. 4

   Add the minced garlic to the skillet and mix it in, allowing the flavors to combine.

   Cover the skillet and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15–20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Stir the rice gently and serve hot.
