One-Pot Creamy Garlic Zucchini Rice

One-Pot Creamy Garlic Zucchini Rice

Ingredients

Serves 6

2 tablespoons butter

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 cups vegetable broth

1 cup rice (I used arborio)

4 small zucchini (or 2 medium), shredded

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

In a large saucepan, melt butter over low heat.

Add minced garlic and sauté for about 4 minutes, until fragrant. Keep an eye on the garlic the whole time, you don’t want it to brown or it will turn bitter (use the smallest burner you have if necessary.)

Stir in vegetable broth and rice. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through.

Remove from the heat, add zucchini and Parmesan and give a good stir.

Cover and let stand 3 to 4 minutes.

Take a taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately!
