Mediterranean Butter Rice is a flavorful and aromatic side dish that pairs well with a variety of Mediterranean-inspired main courses. The combination of butter, herbs, and garlic infuses the rice with delicious flavors, making it a perfect accompaniment to grilled meats, seafood, or roasted vegetables.
Ingredients: 1 cup long-grain white rice. 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth. 2 tablespoons butter. 1 teaspoon dried oregano. 1 teaspoon dried thyme. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley optional, for garnish.
Instructions: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the rice to the melted butter and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly golden. Pour in the broth and add the dried oregano, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan with a lid and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let the rice sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving, if desired.
