Health and fertility benefits of Toasted Herb Rice Recipe | MyRecipes

Nuts are a natural source of Inositol, a derivative of Vitamin B (which is often prescribed in the form of supplements for women with PCOS). Inositol can effectively control the symptoms of PCOS by reducing insulin resistance and improving insulin sensitivity. Basil is an excellent stress reliever, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 3/4 cups uncooked converted long-grain rice (we tested with Uncle Ben's)
2 (14-ounce) cans chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 green onions, chopped
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted
Garnish: fresh basil sprig

Instructions

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat; add rice, and sauté 4 minutes or until golden brown. Combine sautéed rice, broth, and next 3 ingredients in a 4-quart slow cooker.
Cover and cook on HIGH 2 hours or until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender. Stir in pine nuts. Garnish, if desired.
Fresh is Best: If you have fresh basil on hand, use 1 tablespoon fresh instead of 1 teaspoon dried basil.
