INGREDIENTS
1 tbsp
butter or marginine
1 tbsp
olive oil
2
large garlic cloves, minced
3/4 cup
uncooked basmati rice (I also love to use my favorite Nishiki rice as a substitution. If you use Nishiki, follow the rice to water ratio on the package)
1 1/2 cups
water
1/2 tsp
salt
1/4 cup
thinly sliced green onions (go for 1/2 cup if you really want a punch!)
2 tbsp
chopped fresh basil leaves
1 1/2 tsp
minced fresh thyme
1/4 cup
freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino Romano cheese
