Lemon Dill Rice

Lemon dill rice is a wonderful side dish to serve with salmon. I like to use fresh dill and lemon, but you can substitute with dry dill and lemon juice in place of lemon zest.


Ingredients:

1 cup uncooked Basmati rice

1 1/2 cups water

1/2 cup chicken broth

2 tsp fresh dill, chopped fine

1 tsp lemon zest, (or 1 tsp lemon juice)

  1. Bring the water and chicken broth to a boil.
  2. Add the rice and simmer gently until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
  3. Before serving stir in the dill and the lemon zest.

  7. Such a pretty presentation, Kathy. I've added a chicken bouiloin cube instead of salt to the water I cook the rice in, but will have to try the dill and lemon zest sometime.

  8. This recipe certainly perked up the rice that I served with fish broiled in lemon juice and olive oil. Thank you for sharing this, I'll be using the recipe again.
