  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1 cup drained canned French style green beans

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in rice, and cook until lightly browned. Pour in the water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until all liquid has been absorbed.
