Bone Broth Rice (High Protein!)

Bone Broth Rice is a protein-packed, flavorful twist on your usual type of rice. It’s great as a side or for meal prep.

Bone Broth Rice Is…

1. Super-healthy: Bone broth is high in protein and collagen.
2. Richly flavorful: The broth deepens the rice’s flavor profile.
3. Simple: Few ingredients and easy to prepare.
4. Versatile: Goes well with so many dishes.
5. Meal-prep friendly: Ideal for batch cooking and storage.

Bone Broth Rice Ingredients

• Bone broth: Choose high-quality for better flavor and nutritional benefits. Or make your own.
• Water: Use filtered water, if possible, for purity.
• Rice: We like using basmati rice for this recipe.
• Salt: To enhance the flavor.

QUICK TIP

How is bone broth different from stock? It’s quite similar–they’re both made from meaty bones and veggies cooked together to make a flavorful broth. Bone broth, though, cooks for a much longer time to extract more nutrients and marrow from the bones. And before simmering on the stove, the bones (plus meat) are slow-roasted in the oven to speed up that process. The result is a more concentrated flavor that is also fortified with maximum nutrients.

How To Make Bone Broth Rice

• Combine rice, bone broth, and water in a saucepan; heat on medium-high without a lid.
• Wait for a simmer with bubbling around the edges.
• Cover tightly, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook.
• Check water absorption by tilting the pan; reseal immediately.
• Rest off heat, lid on, for 5-10 minutes.
• Fluff with a fork and serve.

What To Serve With Bone Broth Rice

• Grilled Chicken: Or try our favorite Blackened Chicken.
• Roasted Vegetables: A medley or one of your faves.
• Garden Salad: Fresh, crunchy contrast.
• Blackened Shrimp: Quick and flavorful protein.
• Chicken Stir-Fry: Perfect to go on top of the rice.

Rice Cooking Tips

• Simmering: Wait until the mixture starts bubbling at the edges with movement in the center.
• Avoid peeking: Keep the lid on to maintain steam and temperature for fluffy rice.
• Resting time: Let the rice sit after cooking to absorb the remaining steam.

Equipment

• Medium-sized pot with tight-fitting lid

Ingredients

• ▢ 1 cup bone broth
• ▢ ½ cup water
• ▢ 1 cup basmati rice, do not rinse
• ▢ ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

• COMBINE: In a medium-sized saucepan, add all the ingredients. Place over medium-high heat without a lid.
• SIMMER: Wait until the mixture starts bubbling at the edges with movement in the center and the surface turns frothy. Once this happens, cover the pot with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 13-15 minutes without taking off the lid, touching, or stirring.
• CHECK: After cooking, tilt the saucepan slightly to ensure all the water has been absorbed. Replace lid immediately.
• REST: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit with the lid on for 10 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork and enjoy.

Recipe Notes

Larger Batches: For larger quantities use a bigger pot. Cooking time will be a bit longer.

Problems?

• Overflow: Use a snug, heavy lid; lower heat or use a larger pot.
• Burnt rice: Decrease heat adjusting for stove strength. Use a heavier pan if possible for better heat distribution.
• Gummy rice: Check to ensure measurements are correct and avoid very small pots.
