A tasty way to cook rice in the oven

Baked Greek Style Rice

We didn't even know you could cook dry rice in the oven until we were given this recipe in a cooking class. The rice really is full of flavour from soaking up the broth and onions.

Cook Time: 25 mins
Prep Time: 10 mins
Servings: 4

Ingredients:

2 Tbsps of olive oil
1 small cup of onion, finely chopped
1 cup of white rice (dry)
1 clove of garlic pressed
1 and 3/4 cup of boiling chicken broth
1 tsp of dried leaf oregano


Directions:

Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and gently saute until the onion starts to soften, about 5 minutes Add the rice and cook and stir to get all the rice covered by oil. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Remove the pan from the heat and put the ingredients into an oven proof dish. Pour over boiling broth and oregano, quickly stir, cover with a lid and place in a 350F oven for 25 minutes or until all the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked. During the cooking, check the rice periodically to make sure the oven temperature is correct and the rice has sufficient liquid in it.
