Ingredients
1 cup bone broth
1/2 cup water
1 cup basmati rice (do not rinse)
1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- In a medium pot, combine bone broth, water, rice, and salt. Set over medium-high heat without a lid.
- When the mixture begins to bubble and looks frothy, quickly cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to low.
- Simmer for 13–15 minutes without lifting the lid or stirring until all the liquid is absorbed.
- Remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes to allow the rice to steam.
- Fluff the rice gently with a fork and serve warm as a side or base for your favorite meals.
Notes
Add a tablespoon of butter or olive oil for extra richness.
Stir in fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro before serving for added freshness.
Use vegetable or mushroom broth for a vegetarian version.
For extra flavor, sauté garlic or onion in the pot before adding rice and broth.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
