Mediterranean Herbed Rice image

This rice side dish is excellent in the spring, when fresh herbs are so abundant and easy to find. Although the recipe calls for basmati rice, I think you could use any long- or medium-grain white rice. Just please adjust the cooking instructions to accommodate your rice selection (and cook the rice according to the package directions).

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 cups water
1 teaspoon low-sodium instant chicken bouillon granules (or 1 bouillon cube)
1 cup basmati rice
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
8 ounces button mushrooms, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced (or more or less, to suit)
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons snipped fresh herbs (basil is my favorite)
1 teaspoon snipped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan bring water to a boil; stir in the bouillon. Add the rice and stir several times until it returns to boiling. Reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and let it simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Remove the saucepan from the heat, and let the pan stand undisturbed, covered, for 10 minutes. (Do not lift the lid!).
  • In the meantime: In a large skillet, saute the onion, celery, mushrooms and garlic in the olive oil over medium heat for 3 minutes (or until the celery and onion are tender). Remove the skillet from the heat.
  • Add the cooked rice, fresh herbs, and rosemary. Season with salt and pepper, and stir just until well combined. Serve while still hot.

This rice is perfect for a summer meal. It's light and refreshing, and the flavors are amazing. I served it with grilled chicken and it was a perfect meal.

I'm not a big fan of rice, but this recipe changed my mind. The flavors are so good and the rice is so fluffy. I will definitely be making this again.

This rice is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover broccoli and carrots, and I added them to the rice. It was a great way to get a healthy meal on the table quickly and easily.
