Ingredients

4 servings
  • ⅓ cup finely diced onion
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 clove garlic (minced)
  • ¾ cup basmati rice
  • 2 tablespoons shredded carrot
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced red bell pepper
  • 14 ½ ounces chicken broth
  • ¼ cup white wine (or water)
  • 2 tablespoons slivered almonds (toasted)
  • 1 tablespoon green onion (or parsley)

Steps

  1. Rinse rice under cold water and drain well.

  2. Combine onion, butter, and garlic in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat to soften, about 3 minutes.

  3. Add rice and cook until it begins to smell toasted and turn slightly golden, about 7-10 minutes.
