Hearty Bone Broth Rice
A simple way to add extra protein and rich flavor to your everyday rice side dish.
recipesbynani.comIf you are looking for a way to make your standard rice feel a bit more special, this is the recipe for you. Using bone broth instead of water adds a deep savory flavor that makes the rice taste like it has been simmering for hours.
My favorite thing about this dish is how easy it is to put together on a busy weeknight. It pairs perfectly with roast chicken or grilled vegetables. A quick tip is to toast your rice in a little butter or olive oil for a minute before adding the liquid to get an even fluffier texture.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1 cup white basmati or jasmine rice
- 2 cups high quality bone broth
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
- Optional: 1 clove of minced garlic
👩🍳Instructions
- 1
Rinse your rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
- 2
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- 3
Add the rice to the pan and stir it for one minute until it smells slightly nutty.
- 4
Pour in the bone broth and the salt, then bring the mixture to a boil.
- 5
Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover the pot with a tight lid, and let it simmer for 15 to 18 minutes.
- 6
Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes before fluffing it with a fork.
💡 Tips
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. When reheating, add a small splash of broth to keep the rice from drying out. This also works wonderfully as a base for a grain bowl topped with fresh avocado and sliced protein.
