This zesty lemon rice is a versatile vegetarian side dish that brings a bright, citrusy lift to any meal. By frying pre-cooked rice in a little butter or olive oil with fresh garlic and plenty of black pepper, you create a dish with a wonderful depth of flavour and a satisfying texture. It is an excellent way to use up leftover rice, transforming simple staples into a fragrant accompaniment that pairs beautifully with roasted vegetables, grilled fish, or Mediterraneanstews.
Quick to prepare and naturally comforting, this homemade lemon rice fits perfectly into a busy weeknight routine. The combination of fresh lemon juice and garlic provides a sharp, clean finish that balances richer main courses. For the best results, use high-quality butter and finish with an extra squeeze of lemon just before serving to ensure the citrus notes really sing on the plate.

Ingredients for Lemon Rice
60ml (1/2 stick) butter (preferred) or extra-virgin olive oil
725 to 950ml cooked rice, made by any method
Salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper
N/A freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Juice of 2 lemons, plus more if needed
1 lemon, quartered
How to make Lemon Rice
Heat half the butter or oil over medium-high heat in a large non-stick skillet; when the butter foam subsides or the oil is hot, spoon in the cooked rice, tossing and stirring.
Season with salt to taste, lots of pepper, the garlic, and most of the lemon juice. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes, or until hot. Stir in the remaining butter or oil and cook for 1 minutes.
Remove the rice from the pan to a platter, add the remaining lemon juice and serve, with lemon quarters.
