πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ 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 heavy-bottomed pot, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

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

    Add minced garlic and rice to the pot. Cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes to toast the rice slightly.

    ⏱️ 3 min (ish)
    AI Wisdom: Rice grains will turn slightly opaque.
  3. 3

    Pour warm broth into the pot and season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.

    ⏱️ 20 min (ish) 🌑️ Low heat
    AI Wisdom: Avoid lifting the lid during cooking.
  4. 4

    In a separate pan, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. Add chopped almonds and toast until golden brown and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

    ⏱️ 4 min (ish) 🌑️ Medium heat
    AI Wisdom: Watch the almonds closely to prevent burning.
  5. 5

    Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and gently fold in the toasted almonds. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve hot.

    AI Wisdom: Fluffing the rice will give it a light and fluffy texture.
