Lemon-Parsley Rice

Rated

Ingredients

1 cup long-grain white rice
1 tbsp butter or margarine
2 cups chicken stock or more if needed
2 whole lemons, zested and juiced
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper

Preparation

Place rice in a colander and rinse under cold water.

Heat butter in a small heavy-bottomed skillet and sauté rice for 1 minute.

Add chicken stock, grated lemon rind and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook, covered, for 15-20 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and rice is cooked through.

If rice begins to stick to the pan before it is done, add a little more chicken stock. Add parsley and toss well. Add salt and pepper to taste.
