I recently started weight watchers and have been searching for flavourful yet healthy meals. This is a really easy side dish or take-to-work lunch. Feel free to use fresh herbs in place of the italian seasoning, but add them toward the end of cooking. This recipe serves 3 as a side dish or 2 as a lunch. The figures may be different between countries, but by British Weight Watchers, this whole recipe is a total of 9 1/2 points.

SERVES 2 -3 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1 cup long grain rice, uncooked
1 small onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
2 chicken stock cubes
2 1/2 cups boiling water
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

1
In a pan, put the rice, onion, garlic and italian seasoning.
2
Crumble in the stock cubes.
3
Pour the boiling water into the pan and stir to dissolve the stock cubes.
4
Simmer, covered, over a low to medium heat for 20 minutes or until most of the liquid has been absorbed. Stir every 5 minutes or so, to stop the rice from sticking to the pan.
5
Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. By this stage, nearly all the liquid should have been absorbed.
6
Add salt and pepper to taste (bear in mind, the stock cubes contain quite a lot of salt).
7
Serve hot or allow to cool and refrigerate.
8
NB: If reheating this rice in the microwave, add a little water before reheating so the rice doesn't dry out.

This is very tasty. You can really taste the garlic flavor in this dish. What a nice change from the norm. I cut the recipe in half and got at least 4 servings as a side dish. Thanks for posting a wonderful WW recipe.

This recipe used my standard way of cooking rice. The onion, garlic and herb additions make for a very tasty side dish. Try using veggie cubes if you don't want chicken. This recipe is so versatile that you can use it with almost anything. :D

This is very good. I used brown rice and did this in my steamer. So I used 1 1/4 cups of water instead of 2 1/2 and used 1 bullion cube. I cooked mine about 60 mins in the steamer and it was still a little "crunchy" so next time I'll do it 65. Very flavorful served it with grilled chicken. Thanks for posting.
