Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Rice
Rinse the long-grain rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.
- 2
Sauté the Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped red onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and diced bell pepper, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Cook the Rice
Add the rinsed rice to the skillet and stir to combine with the sautéed vegetables. Pour in the vegetable broth, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.

Add the Remaining Ingredients
Once the rice is cooked, remove it from heat. Gently fluff the rice with a fork and add the cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, feta cheese, fresh parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
