- 1/4-1/2 tsp. salt (based on your salt-level preference)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
Instructions
- Heat the oil in the bottom of a medium-sized saucepan until hot, then add the rice and brown (allow to cook for ~5 minutes, while stirring occasionally).
- Add the broth, Italian seasoning, chives and salt to the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil then immediately cover, reduce heat to simmer and continue to cook for ~15 minutes, until the water is absorbed and rice is tender.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese (and additional salt to taste, if desired) and serve.
