Basmati rice
This is quickly becoming a staple side dish. Depending on the night, I change the "add-ins" listed below.
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup uncooked basmati rice (white or brown)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 cup water
1 cup fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pour olive oil in skillet over medium-high. Add rice and garlic; sauté 2 minutes or until rice is lightly toasted. Add 1 cup water, broth, and salt to pan; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender.
Remove from heat. Let stand 5 minutes (or so) before stirring in freshly ground pepper and
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted
3 tablespoons grated fresh Parmesan cheese
fresh basil and/or thyme and oregano
