This rice makes an awesome side dish for fish or chicken. I used parboiled rice but any rice prepared according to the package instructions would work just fine. Adjust the lemon and seasoning for different amounts of rice.
Don't have a lemon? Use lime juice in place of lemon, seasoning that will complement your dish, and some add some fresh cilantro at the end.
Lemon Rice
Rice that will make about 6 cups cooked rice
Use chicken broth instead of the suggested water.
2 T. lemon juice (get the real lemons--don't use bottled. You'll thank me.)
2 t. butter
1/4 t. lemon pepper seasoning
1/8 to 1/4 t. grated lemon zest if you really want to kick it up
1/4 t. shake of dried basil if you are into wanting a bit of color (I didn't add it and it was fine!)
Combine the dry rice, broth, and all the other ingredients and cook the rice according to the package.
That's it!
