Ingredients
Instructions
Prepare and measure all ingredients before starting to cook.
Combine stock with salt, pepper, and bay leaf and heat it up either in a separate sauce pot or in a microwave. Set aside.
You can use a cooking pan with a fitted lid, a small Dutch oven, or a sauce pot with a lid to prepare the rice.
Preheat the pot over medium heat and melt butter. Add diced onion and sauté until onion is softened and starts to brown.
Add minced garlic and sauté just until fragrant.
Stir in rice and let it sauté for a couple of minutes.
Pour in warmed stock mixture, stir just once or twice, cover the pot with a lid, and lower the heat to low.
Simmer rice for 17-18 minutes.
Take the pot off heat and fluff the rice. Close the lid and let rice rest for about 5 minutes away from heat.
