Parsley Lemon Rice

November 11, 2022

This rice side dish is very easy to make. Parsley-lemon rice is light, refreshing and pares well with a wide variety of foods!

Step 1:

• 1 cup Rice (Basmati rice recommended)

Thoroughly rinse the rice in water. Drain.

Step 2:

• ¾ tsp. Salt

• 1 ½ TB Melted Coconut Oil/Butter/Canola Oil * (see Note 1)

• 1 ½ cup Water (you may use chicken/vegetable stock if you don’t mind a slight off-color)

Mix all ingredients together in rice cooker or Instant Pot.

Set rice to cook.

Step 3:

Let rice cool to room temperature, otherwise the parsley will turn off-color and lost freshness. You can speed up the process by spreading the rice on a baking sheet and putting it in your refrigerator.

Step 4:

• Juice of 2 Lemons (more to taste if you desire)

• 1 cup Finely Chopped Parsley (add more if you like)

• Optional: Wash & zest your lemons using a microplane grater for an added citrus boost.

Thoroughly mix the lemon juice, parsley, & (optional) zest into the cooked rice.

Note 1: You can increase the fat to make it restaurant style!
