Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup long grain rice uncooked
  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano dried

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Finely chop garlic (preferably with a knife and not a garlic press).
  2. Heat the olive oil in a medium pot over low heat. When hot add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the rice and cook, stirring, for about 30-60 seconds, until all the rice grains are coated in oil.
  4. Add oregano and chicken broth, close the pot with a tightly-fitting lid (preferably transparent so you can see when the rice starts to boil), bring to a boil then reduce the temperature to low and cook for 14 minutes.
  5. Take the pot off the heat and leave it (covered) to rest for 10 minutes.
  6. Fluff the rice with a spatula or wooden spoon and season with lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper. Stir gently until combined.
  7. Enjoy!
