Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups basmati rice (about 10 ounces)
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
2 cups chopped sweet onions (such as Vidalia or Walla Walla)
2 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Rinse rice under cold water until water runs clear; set aside. Melt butter in large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions; sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add rice, 2 1/2 cups water, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 10 minutes. Stir in herbs. Season with pepper and more salt, if desired. Transfer to bowl and serve.

This recipe is a great way to sneak some extra veggies into your diet. The onions and herbs add a lot of flavor, but they're not overpowering.

I've made this recipe several times, and it's always a hit. It's a great side dish for grilled chicken or fish.

I'm not a huge fan of basmati rice, but this recipe changed my mind. The onions and herbs really elevate the flavor.

Not a fan of this one. The flavors were too subtle for my taste.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover herbs. I had some basil, parsley, and thyme that were about to go bad, and this dish was the perfect way to use them up.

I made minor changes to the recipe: I used 2 cups of vegetable broth to up the flavor, and a handful of chopped parsley instead of basil. Turned out fantastic!

This recipe is a keeper! The combination of sweet onions and summer herbs is divine, and the basmati rice cooks up perfectly. I've made it twice now, and it's been a hit both times.
