Lemon Rice
Description
This easy and simple Lemon Rice is ready to report for side dish duty! Chewy brown rice is jazzed up with lemon zest, juice, and fresh parsley.
Ingredients
- 1 cup brown rice
- 1 ¾ cups coconut water plus a few additional tablespoons as needed (or swap unsalted vegetable or chicken broth)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt plus additional to taste
- Zest and juice of 1 medium lemon about ¼ cup juice
- 2 tablespoons Italian parsley minced (or any herbs you love*)
Directions
- Rinse and drain the rice. Combine the rice, coconut water, salt, and coconut oil in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Cover with a tight-fitting lid, reduce the heat to a low simmer, and cook for 45 minutes. Check a few times, especially towards the end as the rice cooks. If at any point it looks like it is becoming dry or sticking, splash in additional coconut water as needed.
- Remove from the heat. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice, and then fluff with a fork to combine.
- Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Enjoy warm.
