The recipe name doesn’t lie — this rice is buttery. And that means it’s delicious. We pack it with lots of flavor from onions, garlic, chicken stock, and a mix of tender herbs.
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.
What You’ll Need
What You’ll Need
Ingredients
- ¼ cup (30g) medium size onion, diced small
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¾ cup (145g) basmati rice
- 1 cup (240ml) water
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons mixed fresh herbs (parsley, tarragon, and chives), chopped
- salt, to taste
Preparation
- Add the onion, garlic, rice, salt, and water to the Anyday dish. Stir and spread rice in an even layer. Cover with the lid (knob lifted).
- Cook in the microwave at Power Level 3tooltip for 22 minutes, or until rice is cooked through and tender. Once cooked, let the rice rest for 5 minutes with the lid still on.
- Add the butter and the herbs and mix to combine. Season with salt to taste.
Serving suggestions & tips
- If it’s taking longer than expected, increase the power level by 1. If it’s bubbling over or the lid is lifting, decrease the power level by 1.
- Serve with your favorite roasted vegetables or protein of choice!
- Top with a fried egg and chili crisp for a simple and delicious lunch.
