This is a very light dish, easy to make and to eat. 🙂 As it is my husband who usually makes it, I always request more vegetables and less meat. There is just something about warm rice, broth and vegetables! Lemon is optional, but I do like just a touch of it. It also looks beautiful on a plate with yellow peppers and green peas and parsley!
