We eat a lot of rice. So I was really happy to find this easy rice pilaf recipe. It's delicious and so simple.
Ingredients:
1 C rice, uncooked
2-4 Tbl olive oil
2 C chicken broth
1 Tbl dried thyme
1-1/2 tsp salt
In a medium sauce pan, heat oil. Add the rice and toast on medium high until the corners of the rice are translucent and it has a nice, toasted smell.
Add the broth, thyme, and salt. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pan.
Cook covered for 15-18 minutes. Do not remove the lid to check how it's going. After 15 minutes, you can check, and then check every minute or two after.
Remove from the heat and fluff with a fork. Cover with a clean dishcloth and let stand for a few minutes before serving.
Serve with your favorite entree.
