Persian-Style Dill Rice
Ingredients
- 1 cup white basmati rice rinsed under cool water
- 1 cup veggie broth
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- sea salt
- 1 cup fresh or thawed frozen lima beans I used frozen
- 1/2-1 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice or more if needed
Instructions
- Combine the rice, broth, water, oil, and a big pinch of salt in a medium saucepan. Let the mixture soak for 20 minutes.
- Bring the rice to a boil and then reduce the heat to maintain a simmer. Add the lima beans and cover. Simmer for 12 to 15 minutes, until the rice is cooked through and no water remains. Remove it from the heat and keep it covered for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the dill and lemon juice. Add salt to taste and more lemon juice if needed
