Rice pilaf isnt just your ordinary cooked rice. It is toasted first to give it a deeper flavor. If you are just looking for a regular garlic rice recipe, please see my Garlic Butter Rice recipe. Can this be made with brown rice? I have not tested this with brown rice so cannot give you instructions on how to do that. Generally brown rice needs more liquid to cook than white rice. I also have not tested this with instant rice. Why make rice pilaf in the slow cooker instead of on the stovetop? Using the slow cooker makes this recipe (almost) completely hands-off. Once everything is added, theres no need to stir or monitor the pot, which frees up the stovetop for your main dish.I also think the texture of this is slightly different than the stovetop version. In my opinion, its slightly softer and stickier than the stovetop version. If you dont like that texture then this recipe probably isnt for you.If it is easier for you to make it on the stovetop, then please do. Some folks just like the idea of making side dishes in a slow cooker to free up space on the stovetop or they simply just enjoy using their slow cooker to make recipes. How do I make this rice pilaf on the stovetop instead? To make this recipe on the stovetop, toast the rice in butter in a saucepan until lightly golden, then stir in the garlic and cook briefly. Add the broth, bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-18 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat, let rest covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork before serving. What size crock pot (slow cooker) did you use? This was tested in an oval 5 quart Crock Pot. Can I double this recipe? Certainly. You can easily double this, but the cook time may need to be adjusted, depending on your slow cooker model and volume. I have only made it this way so I cant give guidance on doubling. Should I rinse the rice before cooking? Rinsing the rice is optional in this recipe. If you prefer to rinse it, let it dry briefly on paper towels before toasting it in butter so it browns properly and develops the best flavor. What else can I add to this Garlic Rice Pilaf? Add-ins like sauted onion, herbs, or frozen veggies work great stirred in during the last 30 minutes. How should leftovers be stored and reheated? Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave with a splash of broth or water to bring back moisture. This rice also freezes well for up to 2 months. To freeze it, I like to portion cooled rice into freezer bags, press flat, and then freeze.

If youre sensitive to salt, or need to cut back in your diet, you can certainly use low sodium or no sodium versions. You can always add more salt later if you feel its necessary. Additionally, you can use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth if desired.garlic cloves Fresh garlic provides the strongest and best flavor in this recipe. Since there are only a few ingredients, the garlic really stands out and makes a noticeable difference in the final dish.
