Lemon Rice Pilaf

[Guest guest]

I didn't happen to have any jasmine rice onhand, but used some basmati

with excellent results. Are they the same thing or even close? *blushes over

ignorance*

 

 

Lemon Rice Pilaf

 

1 cup uncooked jasmine or long grain rice

1 cup sliced celery

1 cup thinly sliced green onions

2 Tbs butter or margarine

1 Tbs grated lemon peel

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

 

Cook rice according to package directions, or as you normally do it.

Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, saute celery and onions in butter

until tender. Add rice, lemon peel, salt and pepper; toss lightly. Cook and stir

until heated through. Yield: 4 to 6 servings
