- Rinse the rice and soak it for 20 min in cool water. Drain. Add in all the ingredients except for the parsley to a 2-qt pot. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, stir, and simmer, covered, for 20 min, or possibly till the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked. Garnish with the minced parsley.
- We had this for dinner tonight and it was absolutely fabulous. I especially loved the rice. The chicken [Grilled Chicken Skewers In a Spiced Yogurt Marinade] initially tasted a bit bitter, but the flavors of both dishes together evened out.
