Lemony Rice Pilaf image

This takes plain ol' rice to a new level. Goes particularly well with chicken. If you don't use chicken stock, this side dish is vegetarian/vegan.

This pilaf was a bit too lemony for my taste. I think I'll use less lemon next time.

This pilaf is a great way to use up leftover rice. I always have rice leftover from takeout, and this is a delicious way to use it up.
