Basmati rice has a naturally nutty flavor that is delicious with the herbs. This side dish recipe can easily be doubled. Ingredients:
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 cup uncooked basmati rice |
1/4 cup sliced green onion |
3/4 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth |
1/4 cup light coconut milk |
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the rice; sauté 3 minutes. Add onion; sauté 1 minute. Add broth, milk, salt, and pepper; stir. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 17 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, stirring once after 10 minutes. Stir in mint and cilantro; cover and let stand 5 minutes.
