A delightful rice dish infused with the flavors of fresh herbs, garlic, and onion, perfect as a side or main course.
Combine the onion, garlic, parsley, and basil in a food processor and blend until smooth.
Blending the herbs and aromatics ensures an even distribution of flavor throughout the dish.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the rice and stir until it is lightly toasted.
Toasting the rice enhances its nutty flavor and prevents it from becoming mushy.
Add most of the herb mixture to the rice, reserving a small amount for garnish. Stir well to combine.
Adding the herb mixture at this stage allows the flavors to infuse into the rice.
Pour in the vegetable stock, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a boil.
Use hot stock to maintain the cooking temperature and ensure even cooking.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to retain steam and ensure the rice cooks evenly.
Fluff the rice with a fork, stir in the reserved herb mixture, and serve warm.
Fluffing the rice prevents clumping and ensures a light, airy texture.
