Preparation Instructions

Warm the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions & carrots, saute until lightly golden. Add the brown rice and saute for 2-3 minutes until coated and glistening.

Mince up the slices of lemon. Pour in the broth & diced lemons. Bring up to a simmer for 35-45 minutes until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed. If the rice is done and there is extra liquid, you can always strain off any excess.

Fold in the walnuts, olives, oregano and cheese if using.
