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:

  1. Begin by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, broth, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  3. 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.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit covered for 5 minutes to steam.
  5. Fluff the rice with a fork and gently fold in the olives, feta, parsley, and dill.
  6. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, then serve warm.
