2. Add the rice and sauté it together with the leek-onion mixture for 1 minute. Then add about 900 ml of the broth and mix well. Once it boils, add the dill, mint, salt and pepper, and mix again. Then lower the heat to simmer and put the glass lid on the Fest non-stick semi deep casserole.
3. In about 15 minutes and as the rice has drunk the most juice in the food, add the lemon and stir, again covering for the last 4-5 minutes. If you see that you need more broth / water, fill it.
4. Try to see in 20 minutes that your rice has become and has little liquid left in the pot, which will drink it during the natural cold. Remove the food from the heat and keep it covered for at least 15-20 minutes, until it drinks all the liquid and is at a temperature where you can enjoy its flavors. Try and fix in salt and lemon.
