Fresh and citrusy, this packs a flavor punch! It is delightful, but must be served immediately. I found that the lemon flavor disappears the next day. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1 cup instant brown rice (i use 2 bags uncle ben's boil-in-bag brown rice) |
2 quarts chicken broth |
1 lemon, zested and juiced |
1 tablespoon butter |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
fresh ground pepper |
sea salt |
1 bunch fresh asparagus, cut in 1 inch pieces |
Directions:
1. cook rice in chicken broth according to box directions.
2. remove bags of rice from chicken broth and add asparagus pieces and salt to pan.
3. cook asparagus until al dente and bright green.
4. remove asparagus to mixing bowl and add rice, butter, pepper, lemon zest, lemon juice, cream and salt.
5. serve immediately.
6. note: some of the cooking liquid can be added to loosen the sauce if it is too thick.
