Creamy Parmesan Rice

INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon parsley (optional)
  • Splash of milk, if desired

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Sauté garlic and rice in butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat until garlic is fragrant (about 3-4 minutes). 
  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 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. Stir in parmesan cheese and parsley. If you would like yours to be creamier, add a splash of milk. Taste for salt and add more if necessary. Cover, turn off heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Enjoy!
