Dilly Sour Rice

Dilly Sour Rice served with salmon stuffed chicken breasts.

Total time:  Approximately 45 minutes.

3 cups water
2 cups rice
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 c sour cream
1 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dill weed
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp dried mint leaves

Mix sour cream and seasonings, set aside.

In a large, deep skillet, melt butter on medium-high heat.  Add rice and cook until golden brown (about 10 minutes), stirring often.

Add sour cream mix, and stir well.  Add water and stir until sour cream is mostly dissolved.  Cover tightly.  Leave it this way for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to low.

Let the rice simmer for 15 minutes.  Then turn the heat off and let it steam for another 5-10 minutes.  Fluff and serve.

Serves 6-8.
