    Vegan Greek Rice

    Vegan Greek Rice. Delicious, flavourful and easy to make. It's perfect as a side dish for dinner or lunch. This recipe only takes 35 minutes to cook!

    My vegan greek rice recipe is delicious because the grains are cooked in a delicious vegetable broth with garlic powder, peas, carrots, lemon juice, salt, olive oil and I've topped it off with dill!  

    It's such a simple recipe that is quick to make and pairs so well with my Vegan Greek Potatoes (click here for that recipe).

    For this Recipe

    You'll need the following ingredients for this greek veggie rice:

    • 2.5 cups white rice (uncooked)
    • 3 cups vegetable broth
    • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots
    • 1 Juice of a lemon
    • 4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    • 3 tsp salt
    • ¼ tsp garlic powder
    • 3 tsp fresh dill, chopped

    I'm using organic vegetable broth by Pacific Foods and organic extra virgin olive oil by Terra Delyssa.  I really enjoy using broths by Pacific Foods because they come in recyclable containers with a resealable cap.  They're handy whenever I need some broth. I can reseal it and store it back in my fridge without contaminating the whole container.  Not to mention, they are delicious and organic.  You can source their products at most Canadian grocers like Sobeys or Loblaws. 

    How to make Vegan Greek Rice

    • In a non-stick pot set on medium-high heat, pour in the olive oil. Add in the brown rice and combine. Fry for 1 minute.
    • Pour in the lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, peas and carrots, and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil.
    • Once it reaches a boil, lower heat to medium and simmer with a lid for 25 minutes until you reach desired softness. Every now and then, stir the rice to avoid it from sticking to the base of your pan. The rice should have absorb all the liquids.
    • Remove from heat. Garnish with chopped dill. Serve and enjoy!

    On a Personal Note

    I hope you all had a nice Easter weekend.  We had some nice warm weather for this long weekend. I had a really lovely one and managed to create two new recipes.

    Lately I've been in a lull in creating new recipe ideas.  I want to make sure they're tasty dishes and that they are primarily plant-based, as you're investing your time to make these dishes.  I'd feel terrible if I made you waste 30-60 minutes of your time only to make a dish that didn't make you say "Yum!" But I have sure confidence in this Vegan Greek Rice.

    Give it a try!

    Well I hope you give my Vegan Greek Rice recipe a try! It always excites me when you guys make my recipes and I hope this is one you try.

      This was really easy to make and I'm so glad I tried it because now I don't need to visit the restaurants to order it.

      Tried this for a greek themed dinner where I was asked to bring my own vegan dish to go with the non vegan stuff. I had to sub the dill for rosemary/oregano when I noticed I had no dill but everyone LOVED this rice, including the kids who told me it was the best thing on the menu that night (take that, meat skewers and spanakopita!!) I agree it's the best rice dish I've ever had. I don't usually post comments but this dish was so loved I decided to post a comment to say so. Thank you!
