Grated lemon peel brings delicate flavor to this rice side dish while pecans add a satisfying crunch. Cindie Ekstrand of Duarte, California sent the recipe for this crowd-pleaser that can be quickly prepared. My sister gave me the recipe, she writes. It's easy to make and very tasty.
Ingredients:
5 cups chicken broth
2-1/2 cups uncooked long grain rice
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup pecan halves
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, bring broth to a boil. Stir in rice; return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the rice is tender. Meanwhile, melt butter in a nonstick skillet. Add the pecans; sauce until golden. Stir in the lemon juice and peel. Pour over rice and stir to coat. Sprinkle with parsley. Yield: 10 servings.
