Technique to learn

Herb Fluffing

Folding tender fresh herbs into cooked grains right after resting retains aromatic essential oils without overcooking them.

Instructions

Step 1: Heat olive oil in a wide pot or deep skillet over medium heat and sauté finely chopped onion for 4 minutes until golden.
Step 2: Stir in minced garlic, tomato paste, and ground coriander, cooking for 1 minute until tomato paste darkens slightly.

Step 3: Add sliced cabbage ribbons and cook for 4 minutes until slightly wilted.

Step 4: Pour in rinsed rice and vegetable stock, stirring well to combine with cabbage and aromatics.

Step 5: Bring mixture to a boil, cover tightly, reduce heat to low, and cook undisturbed for 15 minutes.

Step 6: Remove from heat, fold in chopped fresh dill and fresh cilantro, and let rest covered for 5 minutes before fluffing and serving.
