Ingredients

1.5 cups long-grain rice
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion finely chopped
2 cloves garlic minced
3 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth for a vegetarian version
1 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the rice, and cook for 1-2 minutes to toast it lightly.
Pour in the chicken broth and add salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes, then fluff the rice with a fork.
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
