For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken broth. If you don't have almonds on hand, try using toasted pine nuts or chopped walnuts. Feel free to experiment with other herbs, such as dill or parsley, to complement the lemon flavor. A pinch of lemon zest added along with the juice intensifies the lemon flavor.

Oct 13, 2024The rice was a little too tart for my taste. Next time, I'll use a bit less lemon juice.
