Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 25 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: Greek
Ingredients: 1 cup long-grain white rice; 2 leeks, cleaned and sliced thinly; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 onion, finely chopped; 2 garlic cloves, minced; 1 teaspoon dried oregano; ½ teaspoon dried thyme; 1 bay leaf; 2 cups vegetable broth; Salt and pepper to taste; Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and sliced leeks to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes until the leeks have softened and become fragrant.
Stir in the dried oregano, thyme, and bay leaf.
Add the rinsed rice to the skillet and stir well to coat the grains in the aromatic oil and herbs.
Pour in the vegetable broth and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.
Fluff the rice with a fork and remove the bay leaf.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then transfer to a serving dish.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
