Ingredients

1 cup onion
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1 garlic clove
1/4 cup butter
2 cups long grain white rice, uncooked
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2-3/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350º F. Chop the onion and mince the parsley and garlic.
In a Dutch oven melt butter over medium heat. Add the rice and stir to toast, about 4 minutes. Add the onion and garlic and sauté for 2 minutes.
Add the lemon juice, parsley and seasonings to the rice. Mix well.
Heat chicken broth to a boil and add to rice mixture. Stir well. Cover with a lid, and place in pre-heated oven. Bake for 20 minutes.
Remove rice from the oven and fluff with two forks and stir in Parmesan cheese. Garnish with parsley sprigs before serving.

Helpful hints

In step #5, if broth is not boiling, the end product will be heavy and will stick to the pan.
