Basmati rice pilaf ingredients
You only need a few basic ingredients to make this recipe. As always, the fewer the ingredients, the more important their quality.
You’ll need:
- Basmati rice, rinsed in a colander under running water until the runoff is clear. The water will start out a milky color and, after a minute or two, will turn clear. That’s how you’ll know you’ve rinsed well.
- Onion, diced nice and small
- Plenty of minced fresh garlic
- Good broth (either veggie or chicken)
- Salt and pepper
