A delightful and easy-to-make rice dish infused with fresh herbs, lemon, and topped with creamy feta and crunchy pine nuts.
Spray the rice cooker bowl with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Using cooking spray ensures the rice doesn't stick to the bowl, making cleanup easier.
Add the rice and water to the rice cooker, then start the cooking cycle.
For extra flavor, you can substitute water with vegetable stock.
While the rice cooks, heat olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
Use medium heat to avoid burning the oil and maintain its flavor.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
Stir frequently to ensure even cooking and prevent browning.
Add the pine nuts to the skillet and toast until golden, about 2 minutes.
Keep an eye on the pine nuts as they can burn quickly.
Once the rice is cooked, let it steam in the cooker for 10 minutes.
This step allows the rice to absorb any remaining moisture and become fluffier.
Mix the sautéed onion, pine nuts, lemon juice, dill, and mint into the rice.
Gently fold the ingredients to avoid breaking the rice grains.
Transfer the rice to a serving dish and top with crumbled feta.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
