Lemon basil rice is a bright and flavourful side that pairs really well with most meat dishes. It is infused with flavour on a couple of fronts: - It incorporates garlic and ginger in the cooking water - The bright lemon juice is added at the end so that it doesn’t get hidden behind the other flavours. Because of its versatility, feel free to add more or less of any of the flavouring. Be sure to taste it once it is done to add more salt if needed.
