Lemon Herb Rice

For a side dish for my husband's birthday dinner, I served him Lemon Dill Rice from Mennonite Girls Can Cook. My version included Minute Rice, fresh-from-my-garden oregano, and both lemon zest and lemon juice. It was so good! Next time I'll add even more herbs and lemon.
Lemon Herb Rice
adapted from the original recipe at Mennonite Girls Can Cook

2 cups uncooked Minute rice
1-1/2 cups water
1/2 cup chicken broth
2 tsp fresh herbs, chopped fine
1 tsp lemon zest
1 tsp lemon juice

Bring water and chicken broth to boil; add rice, stir, remove from heat, and cover.
Before serving stir in herbs, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

I served this with Chicken Katsu from Allrecipes.com and whole cranberry sauce mixed with a little orange juice and zest.

Yum that looks tempting although I don't cook that much right now since working on the house but it would be good with some Mahi-Mahi that I have in the freezer.

In response to your comment on starting a nursery, well, I've thought of it yes but I'm trying to come up with a transition from what I'm doing now to doing more of what I wanta do. I've sold some bulbs and some African Violet leaves on ebay last year. Little at a time right now! I've thought of designing gardens esp. native California plants since water is expensive here and sometimes it gets rationed. So smart people are changing out exotic plants for waterwise plants. I may go back to schl and learn more about horticulture as well as maybe working for a nursery first b4 delving into it! Have a lovely holiday weekend, my friend!

Mahi-mahi would be awesome!
