This black rice is so flavorful! It turns a deep purple color as it cooks, so the finished dish is beautiful. I love to serve this healthy side dish with salmon and a side of fresh veggies.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 1 cup black rice

  • ¼ cup diced onion

  • ¼ cup slivered almonds

  • 1 ¾ cups water

  • 1 cube chicken bouillon

Method

  1. Gather all ingredients.

  2. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add black rice, onion, and almonds; cook and stir until lightly toasted, 5 to 10 minutes.

  3. Add water and bouillon; bring to a boil.

  4. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 25 to 30 minutes.
