Meyer Lemony Rice (low FODMAP)

5 Minutes prep • 20 Minutes cook • Low FODMAP • Gluten-free • Serves 4 - 6

Rice can be that forgotten piece of the meal that’s just a bed for the main event. Or, it can be its own delicious addition to an otherwise wonderful meal. This recipe gives the rice a wonderful flavor and color. And, while it makes a great bed for the main event, it can also stand on its own as a true side dish.

Ingredients

2 cups low FODMAP chicken broth

2 tablespoons Meyer lemon juice, fresh squeezed

1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt

1 sprig fresh thyme

1 1/4 cups Jasmine or other long-grain white rice, rinsed well

1 tablespoon Meyer lemon zest

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

Kosher salt and black pepper

Directions

(1) Rinse the rice: until the water runs clear.

(2) Cook the rice: Place the chicken broth, lemon juice, salt, and thyme sprig in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then add the rice, cover, and reduce the heat to simmer. Simmer until all liquid is absorbed (about 20 minutes). Remove the pan from the heat.

(3) Add the lemon zest: Stir in the lemon zest, cover again, and let sit for another 10 minutes.

(4) Finish: Stir in the butter, chives and season to taste with additional Kosher salt and pepper.
