Elswet's Rosemary Rice

This is the perfect side dish for roast chicken, shrimp scampi, or a nice roast (it works so well with pork AND beef!). If used with beef, substitute the chicken broth/bulion cubes for beef flavored ones, and pork bulion for pork. Also, if you don't have the 16-oz can of chicken broth on hand, you can substitute or 2 cups hot water with 6 (flavored to match the meat you're serving) bulion cubes melted within.

This recipe was great! The rice had good flavor and the rosemary made the rice soo fragrant that i couldn't wait for it to finish cooking. The only problem I had was the rice sticking to the bottom, but my mother took care of that. I also left out the gumbo file because i couldn't get to the store but it still turned out magnificent!Reply
