This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Chung Estate in Arlington, Texas in 1987.

Ingredients

Method

1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, sauté the chopped white onion and chopped garlic until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4 minutes
2
Add the long-grain white rice to the saucepan and stir to coat the grains with the aromatics, toasting lightly for 1-2 minutes.
2 minutes
3
Pour in the water and stir in the Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, thyme, and parsley, mixing well to combine all ingredients.
2 minutes
4
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
3 minutes
5
Allow the rice to simmer on low heat until all the water is absorbed and the rice is fully cooked and tender.
18 minutes
6
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the rice rest, still covered, to allow the steam to finish cooking the grains.
5 minutes
7
Fluff the rice gently with a fork, taste, and adjust seasoning with additional cayenne pepper or Worcestershire sauce if desired, then garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
