Ingredients

• 2 cups uncooked long-grain white rice
• 3.5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch, then drain well.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, combine the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter has melted.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the rinsed rice to the pan and stir to coat in the butter-oil mixture. Toast the rice for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until it turns lightly golden.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth, and season with salt and ground black pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.

Step 7

Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

Step 8

Fluff the rice gently with a fork, then stir in the fresh parsley, dill, thyme, and lemon zest.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a side dish or as a base for protein or vegetables.
