This is a very simple, comforting pilaf. In addition to flavonoids and vitamins, the carrots and leeks bring lots of sweet flavor that is beautifully complemented by a final spritz of lemon juice.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil over a medium-sized, heavy skillet or saucepan, and add the leeks and carrots. Cook, stirring, until the leeks are tender and translucent and the carrots have softened slightly, about five minutes. Add the garlic and salt to taste. Cook, stirring, until the garlic smells fragrant, about a minute. Add the rice and about 1/2 teaspoon salt, and stir to coat the grains with olive oil. Add the water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer over low heat until the rice is tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from the heat, and do not remove the cover for 10 minutes. Then stir in the lemon juice, and taste and adjust salt. Serve hot or warm.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400.
- Peel 1" thick strips of lemon zest, cut the lemon in half. Cut one half into 4 wedges and reserve the other half.
- Combine leeks, lemon zest strips, almonds, red pepper flakes and olive oil in 9x13 baking pan. Season generously with salt and pepper and arrange in an even layer. Roast until the leeks begin to caramelize, about 20 minutes.
- Sprinkle the rice evenly over the leek mixture, top with beans and 1 tsp salt. Add the boiling water, seal the pan tightly with aluminum foil and bake until the rice is tender, 20-22 minutes.
- Remove from oven, and let sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with fork, squeeze lemon half over mixture, then stir in Parmesan and basil. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with lemon wedges and additional Parmesan and basil, as desired.
- If desired, add additional veggies to leek mixture before roasting (tomatoes, zucchini, no broccoli) or add spinach, arugula or sliced snap peas after removing from oven.
OVEN BAKED WHITE RICE, PERFECT EVERY TIME!
This recipe makes perfect rice every time, simply because the temptation to stir isn't there. This foolproof rice goes well with roasted chicken or broiled fish. I sometimes like to add a 1/2 cup of shredded carrots in addition to the onion to give it a flash of color.
