Herb Basmati Rice
2 cups basmati rice
Salt
1 grated lemon peel
- ½ bunch of dill
- ½ bunch of parsley
8-10 sprigs of fresh mint
Place your pot on the stove and heat it. Add the slivered almonds and sauté them. Add the water to the sautéed almonds. Once the water boils, add the olive oil and rice and stir. Then add the salt and white pepper and stir. Cover the pot and let it simmer over low heat.
Once your rice has absorbed all the water and is cooked, turn off the heat, add the finely chopped fresh herbs, and stir.
Finely grate the lemon zest and add it to the rice. Place a paper towel over the pot and let the rice steam. Once the rice is ready, stir it once, transfer it to a serving dish, and serve.
