Rosemary Rice

I really think this is my son's new favorite side dish!  He just recently started to become interested in rice, and he absolutely loved this dish!  This is another recipe from Taste of Home: Comfort Food Diet Cookbook.  I like not having to buy one of those boxes of rice with the seasoning packet in it, and it was nice to bring the flavor of rosemary to our table.  I paired this rice with Grilled Pork Chops with Cilantro Salsa, but it could go with any meat and vegetable pairing.  I was very impressed with this dish, it's easy to make and it really is delicious! 

Yields 4 Servings
Ingredients:
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 can (14 -1/2 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup uncooked long grain rice
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Directions: 
  • In a saucepan, saute onion and garlic in oil until tender.  Add broth and water.  Stir in the rice, rosemary and pepper.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 15-18 minutes or until rice is tender.  Remove from the heat; stir in Parmesan cheese.
