Instructions

In a saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the rice and stir to coat it in the oil, cooking for another 2 minutes.
Pour in the broth, lemon juice, and zest. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover.
Cook for about 15-18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Remove from heat and fluff the rice with a fork. Stir in the chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.

Notes

Make sure to rinse the rice to avoid a gummy texture. Taste test before serving to adjust seasoning.
