This is a good example of how easy it is to take a basic concept and turn it into something unique simply by changing the base ingredients. Rather than simply having white rice cooked in water or stock, try using aromatic jasmine rice and infused it with Ginger oil.

Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup jasmine rice
1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
2 cups carrot juice
5 drops Ginger oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (325° F convection).
2. Heat a one or two-quart saucepan over high heat until the heat can be felt radiating from the surface of the pan when your hand is held about six inches above the bottom of the pan.
3. Add olive oil to the pan and tilt the pan to coat evenly.
4. Add rice and salt; stir frequently to keep from burning. When rice starts to turn opaque, remove pan from heat and gradually add carrot juice.
5. Add Ginger oil and place lid on the pan (or cover tightly with foil if a lid isn’t available) and place in the preheated oven; bake for 30 minutes.
6. Remove from the oven and let sit covered for 10 minutes.
7. Remove cover and fluff rice with a fork.
8. Stir in the chopped fresh mint and serve hot.

Looking for another way to use Fennel essential oil for cooking? Fennel goes great with dips and salads when you want to add a sharp, flavorful element to your dish. Add a toothpick's amount to white bean dips and cucumber salads for digestive benefits and a savory flavor. Remember, when using essential oils for cooking, start small. Even a toothpick’s amount can add a lot of flavor to your dish, so start with the bare minimum, and add more essential oils as you go to ensure that the flavor of the oil doesn’t overpower the meal.

Great as a light snack or refreshing appetizer, this flavorful dip will stimulate your taste buds and leave you wanting more. There are plenty of essential oils that go into this recipe, too—five to be exact. While the fresh version of each plant would be fine to use (and is used in the case of rosemary and basil), the essential oil versions are more concentrated and add more powerful health benefits when taken internally.

Here are just a few examples:

• Oregano oil helps maintain the health of your immune, respiratory, and digestive systems.*
• Rosemary oil supports the healthy function of your internal organs.*
• Clary Sage is a soothing and relaxing oil, and may synergistically help calm your nervous system.*
• Fennel has been used to promote healthy digestion.*
• Basil also supports gastrointestinal health and can lessen occasional anxious feelings.*

1–5 cloves garlic
1 can (15 ounce) garbanzo beans, rinsed
