How to Make Garlic Rice With Pine Nuts

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup of chopped bell peppers (any color) and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
  2. Add 1/2 cup pine nuts to the skillet and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown.
  3. Add 6-8 cloves of minced garlic (or more, to taste!) and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Stir in 1 ½ cups of long-grain rice.
  5. Add 2 ½ cups of chicken broth (or vegetable broth for a vegetarian option).
  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
  7. Stir in ¼ cup of chopped fresh parsley before serving.
