Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, chopped fine
  • 1 cup basmati rice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1 large bay leaf
  • 1¾ cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • ½ cup sliced almonds, toasted
  • ¼ cup chopped parsley
  • Salt & pepper, to taste.
Method
  1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.  Cook onion with salt and pepper until just softened, about 3 minutes.  Add rice and cook, stirring frequently, until edges begin to turn translucent, roughly 2 minutes.  Add garlic, thyme and bay leaf and cook, stirring constantly, until frangrant, about 30 seconds.
  2. Stir in broth and bring to a boil.  Cover, reduce heat to low and cook until liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.  Remove from heat and let stand, covered for 10 minutes.
  3. Discard bay leaf and fluff with a fork.  Stir in almonds and parsley.
