GREEN RICE PILAF
This verdant side gets its color from a mix of parsley, cilantro, chives and mint. Chicken stock adds depth, and a bit of lemon and soy sauce brighten the flavors at the end. It goes well with just about anything, but you might pair it with your next chicken or fish dish for a rewarding weeknight dinner.

LEMONY RICE PILAF
This takes plain ol' rice to a new level. Goes particularly well with chicken. If you don't use chicken stock, this side dish is vegetarian/vegan.
