This is a really tasty rice pilaf that you can't go wrong trying! I've made it my own over the years.

Ingredients

4 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup long grain white rice
2 cups chicken stock or broth
salt
1/2 cup grated cheese like parmesan cheese, but don't be afraid, gruyere, manchego, all cheese is worthy of worship

Directions

1
In 3 quart pan melt butter and saute onion and garlic until onion is limp.
2
Add the 1 cup rice and continue to cook for 10 minutes or so, being careful to stir, until grains of rice are lightly browned and look opaque.

Pour in chicken broth, bring to boil, cover and reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until rice is tender, stirring a few times.
4
Stir in cheese! Add salt to taste before serving.

This rice was great! I used sharp white cheddar and parmesan for the cheese. Served with Steak and peas. It was easy to make and nice to have something a little different from plain rice. Thanks for posting! Made for ZWT5

Very easy and very tasty, and wonderfully garlicky. I did - on the whim of the moment - add some cumin with the onion and garlic. I used breezermom's Basic Chicken Stock and added a good handful of baby spinach leaves in step 4 with a mix of feta, parmesan and cheddar. Seriously yummy. Thanks for sharing this super recipe. Made for Ali Baba's Babes for ZWT 5.

This was easy and very tasty. I used a small onion and a shallot, and shredded some gruyere (to give it a real French twist). I will definitely be making this again. Made for the Groovy GastroGnomes for ZWT5.
