Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil

1/4 cup long-grain white rice

1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest

Preparation

In a small saucepan, heat oil over low heat. Add rice; cook, stirring occasionally, until grains start to color, about 5 minutes.

Add 2/3 cup water and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Cover, and cook until rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in cheese and zest.
