Creamy Parmesan Rice

Ingredienti

• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup uncooked long-grain white rice
• 1 cup water
• 1 1/3 cups milk
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
• 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley (or 1/2 tsp dried)
• Additional milk or cream, if desired

Preparazione

1. 1

   Sauté garlic and rice in butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat until garlic is fragrant (about 3-4 minutes).

2. 2

   Add water, milk and salt then bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low (or maybe a little higher depending on your stove - you want to keep it at a slight simmer), cover and cook for 20-25 minutes or until rice is tender, stirring occasionally. Don’t mess around with your rice too much – just stir occasionally with a fork to make sure it’s not sticking to the bottom.

3. 3

   Stir in parmesan cheese and parsley. Taste for salt then add more if necessary. If you would like yours to be creamier, stir in a little more milk or cream.

4. 4

   Cover, turn off heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Enjoy!
