Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 cups water
1 cup long-grain white rice
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted (see page 365)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add rice; season with salt and pepper, and return to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender and has absorbed all liquid, 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, 5 minutes.
  • Fluff rice gently with a fork, then toss with pine nuts, oil, and lemon zest and juice. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.
