I hated asparagus and spinach when I was a kid, and now they are two of my favorite vegetables. Funny how taste changes over time. For me this is the perfect spring dish, not only because I love asparagus, but because it's easy to prepare, creamy, tangy and a delicious rice dish!
Making this Asparagus and Lemon Rice in the oven versus the stovetop is simple and quick. It is a great dish for dinner during the week, because it allows you to do other things, like enjoying the warm weather outside.
Buen provecho!

This was the second recipe I tried from you. This was absolutely delicious. I have never liked rice. I had to double the cooking time, though. I don't know if the problem is my oven.
