Ingredients
- 1 cup Long-grain white rice
- 2 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.25 cup Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the long-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch and prevent sticking.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, water, olive oil, and salt.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, prepare the fresh herbs by washing and finely chopping the parsley, dill, and basil.
Step 5
After 15 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to absorb any remaining moisture.
Step 6
Fluff the cooked rice with a fork, and immediately stir in the chopped herbs, lemon zest, and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 7
Serve warm as a side dish or on its own. Enjoy your fresh and aromatic sugar-free herbed rice.
