greek lemon rice

 

I forgot to get a photo of my greek lemon rice until my greek bowl was stirred up and looking not so photogenic.  That's alright- the rice was great!

greek lemon rice (creme de la crumb)

1 cup long grain white rice

1 tablespoon butter

2 cups chicken broth

1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon turmeric

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh herbs (I used 1 teaspoon dried dill)

In a large skillet over medium high heat, melt butter.  Stir in rice for 1 minute then stir in turmeric.  Stir in the broth, lemon juice and salt and bring to a boil.  Reduce to a high simmer, cover, and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring once or twice throughout.  Fluff with a fork, stir in fresh herbs if desired and serve.
