Simplify meal planning, prep and clean up by merging two separate sides into one delicious dish. Classic flavors of garlic and butter combine well with the black pepper seasoning from the green beans. This versatile rice dish complements chicken, pork, beef and fish.
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 Tbsp. minced garlic (3 large cloves)
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup long grain white rice
1 can (14.5 oz.) Del Monte® Southern Style Whole Green Beans, not drained
1/3 cup chopped fresh dill or parsley
Chopped toasted pecans, optional
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and salt; cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add rice and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Shake green bean can before opening; add contents of can and 1 cup water to saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 15 to 17 minutes until rice is tender and liquid is mostly absorbed. Remove from heat. Partially cover and let stand 3 to 5 minutes for flavors to meld. Stir in dill and top with pecans before serving.
