Cretan Pilafi (Greek Lemon Rice)
“Best Cook” Sophia Sergentanis swears by Uncle Ben’s Original Long-Grain White Rice for this cretan pilafi (Greek lemon rice) recipe; she says it doesn’t come out the same if you use any other brand.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 cans chicken broth
- 2 ounces lemon juice
- ½ stick butter
- 1 cup Uncle Ben’s Original Long-Grain White Rice
Instructions
- Combine chicken broth and lemon juice, and bring to a boil. Add butter and rice; stir well.
- Turn heat down to medium and cover the pot partially.
- Continue cooking rice, stirring often, about 20 minutes. (There should still be some liquid covering the rice.)
- Remove from heat, cover pot completely, and let sit 5 minutes, to let rice absorb remaining liquid.
