This takes plain ol' rice to a new level. Goes particularly well with chicken. If you don't use chicken stock, this side dish is vegetarian/vegan.
SERVES 8
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, preferably canola oil
- 1 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 1/2 cups long grain white rice
- 3 cups chicken stock (vegetable stock makes this vegetarian/vegan)
- 1 grated lemon, rind of
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf Italian parsley
- fresh ground pepper
Directions
1
In a heavy saucepan, heat oil over mediumheat and cook onion for 5 minutes, or until softened.2
Stir in rice, then stock, and bring to a boil.3
Reduce heat and cover; let simmer for 20 minutes, or until rice is tender.4
Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and parsley; taste and add pepper if you wish.5
Note: this reheats very well so don't fret if this makes too much for your family.

This was good. It is a very nice change from plain rice. The whole family liked it. I didn't put a whole cup of onion, one kid not crazy about them, but put in some. Everyone did like the rest of the ingredients though and I will make again.

we loved this! a yummy twist on rice! I served this with a mango chicken recipe and I think it would be great with some seafood/fish recipes.

Very Good ... and Thank You. Learning to flavor my rice has really made even the simplist of meals an adventure. One hint I would like to offer in step # 2. Take the time to make sure each grain of rice is coated with the oil before adding the chicken stock. This step will make the pilaf light and fluffy.

Great rice dish. I used cilantro instead of the parsely. I also used the juice of a whole lemon. I added garlic to the onions as well. Looking forward to the leftovers tonight!!
