Caper and Parsley Lemony Rice
Comments: This mixture of capers, parsley and white rice is a refreshing change from plain rice. Lemon flavor makes it the perfect rice to serve with a more consistant meal.
This rice will keep for 2 hours at room temperature; reheat the rice into the top part of a double boiler over medium heat watching carefully and stirring every once in a while for 10 minutes.
Excellent served along with mustard tarragon pan-fried chicken whites and fresh tomato herbs white wine scallops.
