Ingredients
- For the Rice
- 1 cup uncooked Jasmine or Basmati rice
- 1½ cups water
- 4 scallions chopped
- 2 TBSP butter
- 1 tbsp za’atar spice
- For the Roasted Vegetables
- An assortment of cut-up vegetables of your choice
- 1 tsp za’atar spice
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Rice Cooker Instructions
- Cook the rice according to your rice cooker’s directions
- Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a serving bowl and stir in the butter, chopped scallions, and za’atar spice.
- Rice Stovetop Instructions
- Place rice and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Once the rice is boiling, cover and reduce heat to low.
- Allow the rice to cook until it’s tender, which usually takes 15-18 minutes.
- Once the rice is cooked, transfer it to a serving bowl and stir in the butter, chopped scallions, and za’atar spice.
- If you haven’t cooked with za’atar spice in the past, I recommend starting by adding half a tbsp tasting it, and working your way up to a full tbsp if you still want extra flavor. I always use the full TBSP (and sometimes a bit more) but I know some people can find it overpowering.
