HERBED BASMATI RICE
Steps:
- Combine the rice, 1 3/4 cups water, the salt, and butter in a small heavy-bottomed saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce the heat to low, stir once, and simmer, covered tightly, for 15 minutes. (I need to pull the pot half off the burner to keep it from boiling over.) Turn off the heat and allow the rice to sit covered for 5 minutes. Add the parsley, dill, scallions, and pepper. Fluff with a fork, and serve warm.

Steps:
- Spray large saucepan with cooking spray.
- Add onion and carrots and saute over medium heat, adding a few drops of water if necessary to prevent sticking, stirring frequently, until onion is translucent and carrot is fairly tender.
- Add water rice, salt, dill weed, and pepper; bring to a boil.
- Cover; simmer 20-25 minutes or until rice is tender.
- Stir in parsley and fat-free margarine.
- Serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs add the most flavor to herb rice. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use only about half the amount called for in the recipe.
- Choose the right type of rice: Long-grain rice is the best type of rice to use for herb rice. It cooks up light and fluffy, and it holds its shape well.
- Cook the rice properly: Be sure to cook the rice according to the package directions. If you overcook the rice, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Add the herbs at the end of cooking: This will help to preserve their flavor and prevent them from becoming bitter.
- Use a variety of herbs: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of herbs to create your own unique herb rice blend. Some popular herbs to use include parsley, cilantro, basil, thyme, and rosemary.
Conclusion:
Herb rice is a versatile dish that can be served as a side dish or as a main course. It is a great way to use up fresh herbs, and it is a delicious and healthy addition to any meal. So next time you are looking for a simple and flavorful side dish, give herb rice a try. You won't be disappointed!
