Zesty Lemon Rice image

Delicious and whole ingredients - great lemon flavor, but not overbearing. I skipped the dill (didn't have) and olive oil, and it was still fluffy and flavorful

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons butter

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my rice turned out really bland. I think I might have forgotten to add the salt.

This recipe 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.

I didn't have any fresh lemons, so I used bottled lemon juice. It still turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and the rice turned out mushy. I think I overcooked it.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon, but this dish was surprisingly good. The lemon flavor was subtle and not overpowering.
