TGirl this was really good ! Unfortunately I am now involved with a family that avoids carbs like the plague but it did go wonderfully with the crab cakes I cooked as the main course. I will definately make this again. I did use a little less lemon pepper seasoning because it was the first time I made it, but next time I may increase it. Great rice recipe !

Delicious rice! We made this the other night to go with Bergy's salmon, and it was just perfect. Our "rice pan" had to be thrown away recently, and ever since we've had awful luck with making rice in our other pans, but this recipe reversed the trend. It came out perfectly, and was excellent. The flavors were wonderful and would go well with a lot of different meats. Winner.

Teresa, we really enjoyed this rice recipe. I made it tonite and served it with "blackened" catfish. The lemony flavored rice was the perfect sidedish for the highly seasoned fish. I will definitely be serving this again. Thanks for sharing!
