Rice is a great accompaniment for so many different meals. But, sometimes you want to mix up the flavor of regular white rice. Enter this delicious Lemon Pesto Rice.This rice is far better than anything you can make from a box. The texture is slightly on the dry side, like in restaurants (which is exactly how I like it). It doesn’t turn out wet, clumpy and sticky like some homemade rice recipes can be. The rice really absorbs the flavors yet has the perfect consistency.
