You may have noticed, this week we are building on a grilling theme around here with plenty of Greek-inspired dishes to enjoy! When serving up Greek Grilled Salad and Souvlaki with fresh vegetable skewers, I always like to add in one of my favorite accompaniments, Oregano Buttered Brown Rice. This side is so easy to prep and cook and adds just the right rich flavor to your meal.
Like all our Greek-inspired recipes featured this month, I found everything I needed at one of my all-time favorite grocers, ALDI. If you don’t have an ALDI nearby, you can certainly swap in other comparable ingredients to recreate this recipe in your home. One thing I know for certain, your family will soon be saying “fantastikós!” when you serve them this delicious side dish!
