Easy Lemon-Herb Rice
April 19th, 2010
This quick & easy side just screams Spring-time!
You could take this simple little side dish in so many directions-it’s not even funny. Simple (and cheap!) instant rice becomes an elegant side dish in no time. I see this preparation with seared seafood or grilled or roasted (store bought rotisserie chicken for a 15 minute dinner) chicken. Add halved grape tomatoes and crumbled feta and you have got yourself a fabulous summer side dish that would probably even taste great as a cold summer side salad…
Serves 4 in about 15 minutes
- 2 C Instant rice prepared according to package directions
- Zest of 2 lemons
- ½ C Fresh, chopped herbs (parsley, cilantro, basil, thyme…)
Mix hot rice with lemon zest and herbs and serve!
