it was a little too much lemon, so with the leftovers i added a little goat cheese. That made it a little more savory and a meal in itself!!

Amazingly good! The walnuts were a really nice addition, I recommend including them. Although I ended up using juice and zest of 1 1/2 lemons, I think 2 would have been better (as per chef's recommendation). Otherwise, I cooked the rice in vegetable broth and lowered the butter and oil to 1 teaspoon each and added some dill (mmm). I did overcook the peas a bit (forgot to lower the cooking time for 1 cup of frozen peas) so they came out a bit wrinkled. This of course was not the recipe's fault. My BF is a huge fan of rice and peas (risi e bisi) so I figured he'd love this recipe, and so he did! Will definitely be making this again, it's a winner!
