SIDE ESSENTIALS: YUMMY LEMON INFUSED RICE
Okay, I will admit it, I am a fan of all things citrus... Well, most things citrus. This is a fun, comforting side dish that comes together in thirty quick minutes. The citrus notes are a perfect complement to fish, meat, or poultry. Or, you could just make up a batch and eat it by itself. FYI: The main photo for this recipe is my lemon-infused rice, topped with a pan fried boneless pork chop... So yummy. So, you ready... Let's get into the kitchen.

- For this recipe, you will need a saucepan, with a tight-fitting lid that is capable of holding all of the ingredients.
- I cannot expect everyone to make their own chicken stock, so if you choose to use store-bought stock, remember that they usually contain a lot of sodium. Therefore, you might not need to add any additional salt. Up to you.
- Gather your ingredients (mise en place).
- Add the rice, olive oil, lemon pepper seasoning, and basil to a saucepan over medium heat.
- Cook, stirring, until the rice starts to turn translucent, about 3 - 5 minutes.
- Add the remainder of the ingredients, set the heat to low, and cover for 20 minutes.
- Chef's Note: If you are using the Ponzu sauce, add that with the other ingredients.
- Chef's Tip: For nice fluffy rice, take the pan off heat, leave covered, and let stand for an additional 10 minutes.
- PLATE/PRESENT
- Use as a side with meat, fish, or poultry, or just eat by itself. Enjoy.
- Keep the faith, and keep cooking.

ADVENTUROUS SPIRIT LEMON-INFUSED RICE
From Organic Gardening Magazine summer 2004. An interesting variation on lemon rice for herb lovers using not lemon juice rather lemon scented herbs. Try this with Asian or Greek themed meals! I purposefully did not use stock for this recipe so that the fresh flavors of the herbs shine through. Wink, wink-but this may be an acquired taste for some!
