Lemon-dill rice with peas
Fluffy long-grain rice with green peas, fresh dill and a bright lemon finish.
Ingredients
Volumes are approximate. For baking, use a scale; Metric keeps the specified gram weights.
Let’s make it
- Rinse the rice in a fine sieve until the water runs less cloudy, then drain well. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan with a tight lid and soften the onion over medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Add the drained rice and stir for 1 minute. Add the water and salt, bring to a boil, cover and turn the heat to its lowest setting. Cook gently for 15 minutes without lifting the lid.
- Quickly scatter the frozen peas over the rice without stirring. Replace the lid and cook on low for 5 more minutes. Check that the rice is tender and the water absorbed; if still firm, add 1.06 oz hot water and cook covered for another 3–5 minutes. Extra water does not change nutrition.
- Remove from the heat and rest covered for 5 minutes. Fluff gently with a fork, folding in the dill, lemon juice and zest. Divide into four equal side-dish portions.
- Do not leave cooked rice cooling in the pan. Divide leftovers into shallow containers and refrigerate promptly, within 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F (32°C). Use within 3–4 days and reheat to 165°F (74°C).

Calculation notes & sources
ESTIMATED per serving. Brand, crop, preparation, draining, pan residue and substitutions change actual nutrition. Not laboratory analysis. Raw or dry food profiles match pre-cooking edible masses. All listed oil and retained cooking liquid are counted. Cooking moisture changes do not change the stated portion count. No generic nutrient-retention factor is invented. Calories are kcal; protein, total carbohydrate, fat and total sugar are grams. Total carbohydrate includes fiber and is not net carbohydrate. Fiber and sodium are not displayed. Equal portions define yield; roll/latke/meatball counts are explicitly divided. US/Metric display changes do not change these canonical inputs. Primary-source supplements are retained per ingredient where USDA lacks a field; missing values are never silently changed to zero.
