Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Add the rice and cook, stirring often so the rice doesn’t stick to the pan, for 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and season with sea salt and white pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and let cook for 20 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, heat a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Add the pine nuts to the dry skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes or until the pine nuts are golden brown. Set aside.
Remove the rice from the burner without removing the lid and let it sit for 5 minutes. Carefully remove the lid and fluff rice with a fork. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and chopped parsley then serve. Enjoy.
