Savory Golden Onion Butter Jasmine Rice Recipe

Description

Welcome to another delicious journey in the kitchen! Today, we’re diving into a comforting and flavorful dish that’s sure to become a family favorite. Whether you’re new to cooking or a seasoned chef, this Savory Golden Onion Butter Jasmine Rice recipe will add a burst of flavor to your dinner table. Let’s get started!

Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 2 cups jasmine rice, rinsed
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric (optional, for extra color)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

 

  1. Caramelize the Onions: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown. This process should take about 20-25 minutes. The key here is patience—don’t rush the caramelization process, as it’s essential for developing deep, rich flavor.
  2. Prepare the Rice: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and slightly browned, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the rinsed jasmine rice to the saucepan, stirring to coat each grain with the buttery garlic mixture. This step ensures that the rice absorbs all the flavors and stays fluffy.
  4. Cook the Rice: Pour in the chicken broth, followed by the caramelized onions, salt, black pepper, and turmeric (if using). Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is fully absorbed.
  5. Let It Rest: Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. This resting period allows the rice to finish cooking and absorb any remaining moisture.
  6. Fluff and Serve: Finally, fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains and enhance the texture. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Equipment

Notes

 

  • Use a Heavy-Bottomed Pan: When caramelizing onions, use a heavy-bottomed skillet to ensure even heat distribution and prevent burning.
  • Don’t Rush the Caramelization: Slow and steady wins the race! The longer you cook the onions, the sweeter and more flavorful they’ll become.
  • Rinse the Rice: Always rinse jasmine rice before cooking to remove excess starch, which helps keep the rice fluffy and prevents it from becoming sticky.
