🌊 Tonya's Fix SHORELINE Basmati Rice
A simple, buttery side dish that's perfect with chicken, pork, seafood, or grilled vegetables.
Ingredients
1 cup basmati rice
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
¼ cup onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1½ tsp Mitch & Tonya's Cape Breton SHORELINE All Purpose Seasoning
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)
Directions
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear. Drain well.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
Add the SHORELINE Vegetable Seasoning and stir for about 15 seconds to bloom the flavors.
Stir in the rice and cook for 1–2 minutes, coating every grain.
Pour in the broth and bring to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Remove from the heat and let the rice rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
Fluff with a fork, sprinkle with parsley if desired, and serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon.
Tonya's Tips
-For richer flavor, replace ½ cup of the broth with coconut milk when serving with grilled shrimp or curry-style chicken.
-Add ½ cup frozen peas during the last 5 minutes of cooking for extra color and nutrition.
-Stir in sliced green onions just before serving for a fresh finish.
This recipe would make a great "Meatless Monday" or "Side Dish Saturday" post on your Mitch & Tonya's Spice Cabinet Facebook page.
It also showcases SHORELINE as more than just a vegetable seasoning—it's an easy way to season rice without needing a cupboard full of spices.
