Reviews
Great dish! I added some peas and parsley. Definitely a keeper!
Great tweak for white rice. I use basmati rice and usually stick to the recipe, but regular onion works well, too. The lemon zest is key!
Delicious replacement for normal, bland rice! My husband absolutely loved.
I loved this rice recipe! My celery took a bit longer to soften. It's probably best to let the celery cook a bit before adding the green onions.
This was a great side dish! I served it with shredded beef, and it was quick and easy.
I made this dish today and I found it to be really good! The only 2 changes I'd made were using a regular sliced onion and about 2/3 to 3/4 sliced celery since I didn't have a lot of celery! This dish was for a Citrus Challenge with Taste of Home. delowenstein, Volunteer Field Editor
