Lemon and Garlic Rice image

I love the flavours of lemon and garlic combined in this healthy dish. This would be a good choice served with chicken or fish.

Time 25m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

  • 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!
