Ingredients:
- 1 cup (200g) long-grain white rice
- 2 cups (480ml) vegetable or chicken broth
- Zest and juice of 1 large lemon
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (5g) salt
- ½ teaspoon (2g) black pepper
- ½ cup (75g) pitted Kalamata olives, sliced
- ½ cup (75g) crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup (10g) fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh dill, chopped
Instructions:
- Begin by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, broth, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes until the rice is tender.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes to steam.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and gently fold in the olives, feta, parsley, and dill.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, then serve warm.
