Ingredients:

1 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

2 1 small white onion finely chopped

3 1 cup uncooked plain white long grain rice

4 2 cups chicken broth

5 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice

6 Lemon zest from half a lemon optional

7 1 ½ tbsp. chopped parsley optional

8 Salt to taste

Instructions:

1 Heat the olive oil over over medium heat. Sauté the onion until soft and translucent for about 5 minutes.

2 Add the rice and continue heating stirring the rice until it begins to turn golden about 1 minute.

3 Add the broth, cover and lower the heat until you have a simmer. Cook for 10-15 minutes (this depends on what kind of rice you used), rice should be cooked, and most of the liquid absorbed.

4 Turn off the heat and keep the rice covered for 10 minutes.

5 Add lemon juice and fresh ground pepper and fluff up with a fork.

6 Add salt to taste.

7 Optionally add chopped parsley and lemon zest.

8 Serve warm or at room temperature.

Contributors Notes:

https://www.olivetomato.com/authentic-greek-lemon-rice/ For this particular Greek rice recipe you traditionally use plain long grain rice as you don’t want a sticky texture. I do not recommend using basmati or Jasmine rice which will give out a different flavor.
