2 teaspoons margarine |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/2 cup uncooked basmati rice |
1 cup water |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion tops |
2 teaspoons minced fresh basil |
1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme |
2 tablespoons grated fresh parmesan cheese |
thyme sprigs (optional) |
Directions:
1. Melt margarine in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add rice; stir well. Add water and salt; bring to a boil.
