Ingredients

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 shallot, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cups basmati-style long grain rice
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 bay leaf
1 sprig fresh rosemary

Directions

Melt the butter with the shallot in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Season with the salt and pepper and cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and stir until coated with the butter. Increase the heat to medium-high. Let the rice cook until toasted, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes more.

Stir in the broth, bay leaf, and rosemary. Bring to a simmer over low heat, cover, and cook until all the broth has been absorbed by the rice and the rice is tender, about 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from the heat and let set for 5 minutes. Discard the rosemary and bay leaf. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.

Rice that my wife finally loves....
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was an easy recipe that I only changed a little. I didn't have fresh rosemary, so I crushed some dried and added it to... the rice. I also added some chopped green pepper and edamame...it gave a great blend of textures, as well as enhancing the flavor. Great side dish.Read more

This is Awesome!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I normally don't like rice pilaf. As such, I was searching for a recipe that would change my perspective. This one hit the... spot. It's so simple yet so good. I used a thyme sprig instead of rosemary and loved it.Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I cant even start to say how good and easy this recipe is! My husband is asain so i make rice almost every meal, but... sometimes to switch it up a bit i'll through in the boxed ride pilaf from the store cuz i never took the time to look up how its made. How i regret that, this recipe sojust as simple as using a box, yet it is probably half the price to make. My husband and I recommend it 100%Read more

Rated: 5 stars out of 5

YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! Would have been absolutely perfect if I had watched more carefully (I burned a tiny bit of rice during... the toasting phase).Read more
