Savory Garlic Butter Rice

1.Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. This helps to keep the rice fluffy.

2.In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

3.Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir to coat the rice with the garlic butter. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is slightly toasted.

4.Pour in the water and add the onion powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine all the ingredients.

5.Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

6.After the cooking time, remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to allow the rice to steam.

7.Fluff the rice with a fork before serving, and adjust seasoning if necessary.
