Mediterranean Rice (Edit recipe)

Notes

Long grain white rice - you can use long grain brown rice as it is better for your health, but you'll have to adjust the cooking time due to their different nutritional content and texture. Always refer to the package instructions or adjust cooking times based on your experience with your specific equipment (whether you are cooking the rice in an instant pot, rice cooker, or in a regular medium-sized pot). This recipe is optimized for cooking in a traditional medium-sized pot. I once used arborio rice, and my personal experience is that I like it better with long-grain rice or white basmati rice (or brown basmati rice). Olive oil - I wouldn't advise using different oil as olive oil is a staple in Mediterranean cuisine. But if you insist, the vegetable oil will do ok here. Water - I typically use water as vegetable broth (or chicken stock) has excess sodium. But you can use them instead of water if you prefer.
