A simple buttery asparagus rice dish topped with Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
- 1 cup UNCLE BEN'S® Basmati Rice – cooks in 10 minutes
- 2 cups vegetable stock
- 1 small sweet onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup chopped fresh asparagus
- 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Melt 2 tablespoon butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion until softened and turning translucent, about 1 minute. Add garlic and cook for another minute. Stir in the rice, asparagus, and stock. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low.
Step 2
Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Continue cooking until the rice is tender, about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Turn off the heat and gently stir in the Parmesan cheese and remaining butter. Serve immediately.
