Lemon and Garlic Rice
photo by Sharon123
- Ready In:
- 25mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Serves:
-
2-4
ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about half a small lemon)
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 2 cups chicken stock (I use 2 stock cubes and 2 cups hot water)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
directions
- Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat.
- Add the garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute.
- Add the lemon juice and cook for a further minute.
- Add the rice to the pan and stir to coat the rice with the liquid mixture, being careful not to burn the rice.
- Add the chicken stock (or crumble in the stock cubes and add boiling water), stir and cover to cook, turning down the heat.
- Check on the rice while cooking to ensure it does not run out of liquid and boil dry.
- After 20 minutes, remove the lid and stir. The rice should still have a little too much liquid at this stage so cook uncovered until the rice is done and the liquid is all absorbed.
- Mix in the chopped fresh parsley and serve hot!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a primary school teacher living in Bristol, England. At the moment I teach Kindergarten, known here as Reception. I really love my job but it doesn't leave much time for hobbies!
I enjoy cooking for friends and aim to try new recipes as often as possible! My signature dish has to be White Chocolate Blondies, as it is my most requested sweet treat, and I definitely have a sweet tooth!
Update- 5-5-09: Somebody was very thoughtful and gave me the gift of a premium membership. I can honestly say it made me feel so good! If you're out there, THANK YOU so much! I can't quite believe the generosity...
