Herbed Lemon Rice
Serving Size : 4

1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 small onion -- minced
1/2 cup long-grain rice
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
1 cup chicken stock or canned low-sodium broth
2 tablespoons dry white wine
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons finely chopped tarragon

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat the oil in a casserole. Add the onion and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the rice, bay leaf and lemon zest and cook, stirring, until the rice is well coated.

2. Add the stock, wine, lemon juice and salt and bring to a boil. Cover and bake in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid. Fluff with a fork and discard the bay leaf. Stir in the tarragon and serve.
