Have you ever tried Rice a Roni? Those are usually always pretty good. Here's a recipe for rice. It's pretty quick and easy to make and it tastes real good too. :)

1 cup uncooked rice
1 teaspoon margarine (optional)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups chicken broth
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions


Combine rice, margarine, garlic, lemon peel, pepper and broth in 2- to 3-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil; stir once or twice. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Stir in parsley.
