Recipe Idea: Lemon Rice

Hi. It’s Lois in the kitchen at Recipe Idea Shop, telling you about easy peasy Lemon Rice. It comes from another awesome Moosewood Collective cookbook, Moosewood Restaurant Daily Special.  I love the cookbook. And I love the rice. This recipe is part of a larger recipe in the cookbook, Lemon Rice and Seafood Salad. This is what the cookbook looks like:
I made the recipe awhile ago for a special event at Shiloh Quaker Camp, marking Shiloh’s 20-year birthday party. The party included debuting the brand new pond. Everyone had a blast and the food was SO good. It was a potluck, and I made this rice to go with chicken. It was gone in no time!

This dish is good with pork, chicken, seafood, anything! It’s as easy as boiling a pot of water.
