Ingredients
Yield: 3 portions (60 g per person)
- 180 g Tastic Basmati rice, rinsed
- 15 ml Coconut oil
- 2 g Salt
- 2 g Lemon zest, fresh
- 5ml Dried basil
- 5 ml Dried organum
- 1 sachet Benny Chicken stock
- 500 ml Water
After Cooking:
- 5 ml Trulem Lemon juice
Method
- Rinse the Tastic basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch for fluffier rice.
- In a saucepan or pot, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
- Add the rinsed basmati rice to the pot and toast it for a couple of minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant.
- Stir in the salt, lemon zest, dried basil, and dried oregano, ensuring the herbs are evenly distributed.
- Combine the water and Benny stock powder sachet. Pour in the Benny stock into the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Avoid stirring the rice while it cooks to prevent it from becoming sticky.
- Once the rice is cooked, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for 1-2 minutes.
- After the resting period, uncover the pot and fluff the rice gently with a fork.
- Pour the Trulem over the cooked rice and gently toss to incorporate the lemon juice.
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice according to your preference.
- Serve the Lemon and Herb Basmati Rice as a delicious side dish alongside your favourite main courses.
