Broccoli and Rice Recipe

I like this broccol rice recipe because it’s simple, healthy, and pairs well with a variety of cuisines. And since I tend to overbuy on vegetables in general, this is a great way to use that extra head of broccoli I always seem to have on hand.

Ingredients for Broccoli Rice

You will need:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup long grain white rice, uncooked
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 4 cups broccoli florets, finely chopped
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt

Ingredient Notes

  • Long Grain White Rice – In the interest of simplicity, I like white rice for this recipe. If you prefer another variety of rice, just be sure to adjust the cooking time according to package directions.
  • Garlic. Fresh is best but 2/3 teaspoon garlic powder can be used in a pinch.
  • Broccoli – I prefer fresh broccoli for this recipe. If you opt for frozen, thaw it completely and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible before adding it to the pan.
  • Water – Vegan chicken-style chicken broth can be substituted for the water. If you prefer to use broth, taste before adding the seasoned salt; it may not be necessary due to the sodium already present in the broth.
  • Seasoned Salt – This is an all-purpose blend of savory seasonings and not the same as regular salt.

How to Make Broccoli Rice

STEP ONE: Add olive oil to a large saucepan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring to coat. Add the garlic and continue cooking for an additional 1 minute.

STEP TWO: Add the broccoli, water, and seasoned salt. Stir just gently enough to combine. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to low.

STEP THREE: Cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork, adjust seasoning to taste, and serve hot.
