Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cup rice ((350 g))
2 cups chicken stock ((or water + 2 chicken stock cubes))
1 onion
1 tsp olive oil
4 tbsp finely chopped dill

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a pot on medium heat. Add diced onion, and sauté for a few minutes until the onion is soft and translucent.
  • Add the rice and chicken stock, or water and stock cubes, and cover with a lid. Bring the rice to a boil, then reduce it down to a simmer on low heat. Leave it to gently simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • The water will now have completely absorbed. Remove the rice from the heat. Stir finely chopped fresh dill into the rice, then cover it with a lid again.
  • Leave the rice for 2-5 minutes covered with a lid, but away from the heat. This will make the rice more fragrant, and allow it to fluff up. It's then ready to serve!

Delicious and whole ingredients - great lemon flavor, but not overbearing. I skipped the dill (didn't have) and olive oil, and it was still fluffy and flavorful

LEMON DILL RICE

I found the basis for this recipe years ago and have revised it over the years. Try this tasty rice with fish or chicken. I prefer to use a good quality long grain rice, especially Jasmine, but any rice will do.
