Categories     Long Grain Rice

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups long grain rice, uncooked
4 cups hot chicken stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.
  • Put the rice, stock, cream, garlic and parmesan into an ovenproof casserole dish.
  • Cover with foil and put in the oven to cook for 40-45 minutes.
  • Check on the rice at 35 minutes- stir it gently and lay knobs of butter over the top. Re-cover and put back in the oven to finish cooking.
  • When the rice is done- stir, serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh garlic, Parmesan cheese, and Arborio rice will give you the best results.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the rice, make sure there is enough space for the grains to move around and absorb the liquid.
  • Cook the rice over medium heat: This will help prevent the rice from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Stir the rice frequently: This will help the rice cook evenly and prevent it from clumping together.
  • Add the liquid gradually: Don't add all of the liquid at once. Add it in small increments, stirring constantly, until the rice is cooked through.
  • Don't overcook the rice: The rice should be cooked through, but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh parsley or basil will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
