A delightful and easy-to-make rice pilaf prepared in a rice cooker, perfect for a quick and flavorful side dish.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and melt the butter.
Using butter adds a rich flavor to the dish.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the pan and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Transfer the sautéed onion and garlic to the rice cooker.
Ensure all the sautéed bits are added for maximum flavor.
Add the rice, chicken broth, diced carrot, and sliced almonds to the rice cooker.
Stir the ingredients gently to combine them evenly.
Set the rice cooker to cook. Once done, let it sit for 10 minutes.
Allowing the rice to rest helps it absorb any remaining moisture.
Fluff the rice with a fork and serve warm.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added color and flavor.
