- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 large shallot, finely minced
- 1 1/2 cups long grain rice (such as basmati)
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- A few sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped and chopped (about 1 tablespoon)
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1 cup water
- freshly ground pepper
- 1 lemon, zested
- 1 handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- toasted slivered almonds, for garnish (optional)
Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add oil and butter and shallots to pan, sauté shallots for 2 minutes. Add rice and lightly brown for 4 to 7 minutes. Add the wine and allow it to evaporate completely, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add thyme, chicken broth and water to pan, bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
Fluff rice with a fork and stir in the lemon zest and parsley and top with slivered almonds, if using.
