Savory Lemon Rice

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup Water
1/2 cups No salt added vegetable stock
1/4 tsp. Salt
1 clove Garlic, raw
1/2 cup Brown rice
2 tsp. Lemon zest (minced)
1 Tbsp. Lemon juice
1 to taste Black pepper

Instructions

Place a medium sauce pan over high heat. Add the water, chicken stock and salt. Place the whole clove of garlic in the water.

When the liquid boils, stir in the brown rice, lemon zest and lemon juice.

Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, partially covered, for about 25 - 30 minutes.

Do not boil away all of the liquid and do not stir the rice.

When a very small amount of liquid remains, remove the pan from the burner and let it stand, covered, for about 5 minutes before serving. Remove the garlic clove and discard before serving.

Recipe Notes

The flavor of the lemon goes well with the savory taste of the garlic and chicken stock. Both make a perfect complement to the nutty taste of brown rice. This is a great recipe to pair with more flavorful and exotic dishes like Indian Shrimp Curry, Polynesian Chicken or Jerk Shrimp.
