This easy recipe pleasantly proves you can dress up regular rice with a few simple additions. Best of all, it can simmer while you're preparing the rest of the meal. These delicately lemon-flavored grains go nicely with fish.

I agree with the other reviewers that this rice dish has good flavor. I used brown rice and almost doubled the water and cooking time.

Flavors were subtle, lemon was not overpowering. Even our picky rice eaters loved this.
