Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 green onions, chopped, white and green parts separated
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 cup long grain rice
1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
1 cup 2% milk
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Instructions

Melt butter and oil together in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add white parts of green onions and cook for 1 minute. Stir in garlic and lemon zest. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add rice. Season with turmeric, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir for 1 minute.

Stir vegetable broth, milk, and lemon juice into the pan with the rice mixture and bring to a boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and cook until liquid has evaporated, 18 to 20 minutes.
