Broccoli-rice Pilaf

By Joelene

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon(s) olive oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• Kosher salt
• Pepper
• 1 clove(s) garlic, finely chopped
• 1 cup(s) long-grain white rice
• 1 bunch(es) (about 2 1/2 cups) broccoli crowns (florets only), chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Add the rice and stir to coat. Add 2 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 12 minutes. Add the broccoli and continue cooking until the rice is just tender, 3 to 5 minutes more. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, until the broccoli is tender, about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
