Recipe by Rebecca Feldman, Honey’s Holistic Chef

Serves 3-4


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup rice (uncooked)

  • 2 cups chicken bone broth**, medicinal mushroom broth**, or a 50/50 blend

  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil**

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • ½ teaspoon Himalayan pink salt**, plus more to taste

  • 2 teaspoons nettle/hemp powder**

  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest or a squeeze of lemon to finish

  • Optional garnish: chopped parsley, microgreens, or extra olive oil


Directions:

  1. In a saucepan, warm the olive oil. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  2. Add the dry rice, stirring to coat in oil. Toast 1-2 minutes to enhance flavor.

  3. Pour in the broth and salt. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook until liquid is absorbed (15-18 minutes for white rice, 35-40 for brown).

  4. When the rice is cooked, turn off the heat and immediately stir in nettle and hemp powder. Cover and let steam for 5 minutes.

  5. Fluff with a fork, then brighten with lemon zest or juice. Garnish with parsley, micro-greens, and a drizzle of olive oil if desired.


Optional pairings:

  • Pesto**
