1 1/2 | Tablespoons | Olive oil |
1/4 | cup | Onion, diced |
1/2 | teaspoon | Garlic, minced |
1 | cup | White rice |
1 1/2 | cups | Chicken broth |
1/2 | teaspoon | Saffron |
1 1/2 | teaspoons | Parsley, chopped |
Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan (that has a lid). Add the onion and garlic and cook until just soft. Toss in the rice and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the broth, saffron, and parsley. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 15-18 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Fluff with a fork before serving.
