Feta Cheese Rice with Lemon Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons salted butter
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest

  from about 1 lemon
• 1 tablespoon freshly minced garlic
• 2 cups cold

  cooked white rice (preferably leftover)
• ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley
• Salt and black pepper

  to taste

Instructions

• 1 Place a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter until it begins to bubble
  and release a rich aroma. Add the lemon zest and garlic, stirring gently to
  blend the flavors and allow the garlic to soften without browning.
• 2 Toss in the pre-cooked rice, breaking up any clumps as you mix. Stir
  continuously until the rice is evenly coated in the aromatic butter and warmed
  through. Once the rice is hot, turn off the heat.
• 3 Fold in the crumbled feta and freshly chopped parsley, letting the residual heat
  slightly melt the cheese. Drizzle the dish with fresh lemon juice and finish
  with a touch of salt and cracked black pepper to your liking. Serve immediately
  while warm and fragrant.
