I made this like in the video, but instead of baking the rice I boiled it. 15 minute simmer covered and let it sit covered for another 15 minutes. It came out GLORIOUS!!! Tastes just like the restaurant style. THANKS!!!

I’m going to also make Greek lemon potatoes and gyro meat with a nice Greek salad! I’ll have some store bought pita though...and since I’m a GA 🍑 at heart, I’ll have some buttery cornbread on deck! I’m excited just thinking of Sunday’s menu! Thanks again and be blessed! ✝️💜

Hi! I made your recipe but it came out a very gummy consistency. I used Jasmine rice, is that why? Any other recommendations to avoid the gummy consistency? The flavour was great!

@KensGreekTable

3 жыл бұрын

Oh no. Typically jasmine rice is stickier than other rice . Sounds like that was the issue. I usually use either basmati or plain long grain white rice....

@johnlafleur9251

If you soak Jasmine rice in water for 15-20 minutes before starting, then strain, it will remove much of the starch which causes the gumminess.
