3 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced (white parts discarded)
1 ¾ cups chicken broth
1 ½ tsp dried oregano
Ingredient note
Oregano is fine during pregnancy in normal cooking amounts - this recipe uses about 1/3 tsp per serving. The caution is about concentrated oregano oil and large medicinal doses.
1 tsp lemon zest (from about 1 lemon)
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
¾ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For serving

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)
lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold running water, stirring with your hand, until the water runs mostly clear, about 30 seconds. Shake off the excess water.
2
Heat the garlic-infused olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat until shimmering. Add the rinsed rice and cook, stirring frequently, until the grains turn opaque and smell lightly nutty, about 2–3 minutes.
