How to Make Feta And Mint Rice
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until translucent.
- Add 1 cup of long-grain rice and stir to coat with the oil and aromatics.
- Pour in 2 cups of hot chicken or vegetable stock. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed. Do not lift the lid during simmering.
- Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 5-10 minutes to allow the rice to steam.
- Fluff the rice gently with a fork. Stir in 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, and the zest of 1 orange. Mix gently to combine.
- Serve hot or at room temperature. Delicious alongside grilled meats, poultry, or roasted vegetables!
