How to Make Basmati Rice With Basil And Mint
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Rinse 1 cup of basmati rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, oven-safe saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 tablespoon of grated ginger and 2 minced cloves of garlic. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
- Stir in the rinsed basmati rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to toast the grains slightly.
- Add 1 1/2 cups of water, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil on the stovetop.
- Reduce heat to low, cover the saucepan tightly with a lid, and wrap the handle of the pan with foil to prevent burning.
- Transfer the covered saucepan to the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and gently fluff the rice with a fork.
- Stir in 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil and 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint. Serve immediately and enjoy!
