👩‍🍳 Instructions (The AI's Game Plan)

🎯 Follow along with our AI chef's step-by-step adventure. Results may vary wildly!

  1. 1

    In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

    ⏱️ 4 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Onions should be soft and fragrant.
  2. 2

    Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes to toast the rice slightly.

    ⏱️ 3 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Look for a nutty aroma.
  3. 3

    Pour in the hot broth, add salt, and pepper. Stir well. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

    ⏱️ 20 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to ensure proper absorption.
  4. 4

    Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork. Let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

    ⏱️ 5 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Resting allows the flavors to meld together.
