Step 1

Place rice in a large bowl and cover with 2 inches of water. Allow rice to soak at least 15 minutes, preferably an hour (up to overnight). When you’re ready to cook, drain the water from the rice.

Step 2

Heat the avocado oil and ghee in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and saute, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to sweat, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 3

Pour in the rice and continue sauteeing, stirring constantly, until rice barely begins to brown, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add in the remaining ingredients, cover, and bring to a full boil.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, covered, until rice has cooked through, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Step 6

Remove rice from the heat and remove the cover. Fluff rice with a fork, then replace the cover and allow it to sit another 5 to 10 minutes undisturbed.

Step 7

Serve alongside your favorite main entrée.
