Parsley and Lemon Rice

This is a nice summer side-dish that tastes bright and fresh.  The recipe is tweaked from one from Food & Wine Magazine.

4-6 as side dish

1 cup Arborio rice

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

1 cup tightly packed flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped

1 ½ teaspoons grated lemon zest

1/3 cup oil-cured pitted black olives, roughly chopped

Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.  Add rice, simmer until tender, about 14 minutes and drain well.  In a bowl, gently stir rice with all remaining ingredients and serve warm or room temperature.
