Instructions For Making Rice Pilaf:
- In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the rice to the saucepan and stir well to coat the grains with the oil, cooking for about 2 minutes to toast the rice.
- Pour in the vegetable broth, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Allow the rice to simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.
- Fluff the rice with a fork, then stir in the chopped parsley before serving.
