Steps:
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, saute 5 minutes or until translucent.
- Add the rice and stir to coat. Add the stock, salt, and pepper and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 45 minutes or until all liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let pan stand, covered, for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Using a fork, fluff the rice and toss in the feta, mint, and orange zest just to combine. Serve hot or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your dish. Look for fresh, flavorful feta cheese, fragrant mint, and aromatic basmati rice.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the rice. This will prevent the rice from cooking evenly.
- Add the feta cheese and mint at the end of cooking. This will help to preserve their flavor and prevent them from becoming overcooked.
- Serve the rice immediately. This is when it is at its best.
