I made this as a side with a fish dinner last week; DH and I loved it! I cut the recipe in half since I was only serving two. Doing so, I made 1 error...I neglected to reduce the butter to half as well...oops, made it a little greasy. I also used dehydrated lemon peel (1/2 tsp) and jarred lemon juice, which worked fine although fresh couldn't help but have improved it even more. Great recipe Jude! Thank you for sharing. -
This was easy to prepare, and the rice was a nice texture. However, I didn't care for the flavour. I found it to be too bitterly acetic. Maybe too much rind? -
WOW!!! My husband isn't too fond of rice but gave this a 5 star review. SO tasty!! I will be making this quite often from now on. Thanks so much for sharing
