Lemon Herb Rice Pilaf
Lemon herb rice pilaf gets its flavor from toasting the rice before adding liquid, a small step that makes a big difference. EVOSÌ's citrus lift comes through clearly once lemon and fresh herbs are stirred in off the heat.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
- 3 tablespoons EVOSÌ
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- Zest and juice of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup fresh dill and parsley, chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat EVOSÌ in a saucepan over medium heat, then add the diced onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 4 minutes.
- Add the rice to the pan and toast, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes, until the grains turn slightly translucent at the edges.
- Pour in the broth and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer 18 minutes, without lifting the lid, until the liquid is fully absorbed.
- Remove the pan from heat and let it rest, still covered, for 5 minutes, this lets the rice finish steaming.
- Fluff the rice with a fork, then stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, dill, and parsley.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve warm.
