Garlic butter rice – for everything!

5 tbsp / 75g unsalted butter
5 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 cups white rice – long grain, medium grain, short grain (sushi rice) or basmati
3 cups chicken stock/broth, low sodium
¾ tsp salt
1 tbsp parsley, finely chopped, plus more for garnish (optional)

1. Melt half the butter in a large saucepan on medium high, sauté garlic 30 sec until light golden. Add rice and stir 1 minute.
2. Add stock and salt, turn heat up to high. Bring to simmer, put lid on and turn down to low (or medium low for weak stove). Cook 15 min – no peeking, no stirring – until liquid absorbed. Rest with lid on 10 min. Fluff, then stir through remaining butter until melted. Toss through parsley, eat! Keeps 2 days in fridge, freezer 3 months.
