    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!

      Its b=funny how our tastes change. I did too hate both and now they are always in one of my dishes. Loved the creamyness of the rice and the addition of the lemon must taste divine.

      This dish sounds delicious and I suspect the flavors might remind me of that Greek soup - Avengeamou (totally butchered it)

      Hi Erica,
      I'm such an amatuer when it comes to cooking but I have found some of your recipes that I can actually pull off! I have a question about when adding in the asparagus, do you cover the dish for the extra 5 minutes or would you leave it uncovered? Sorry for such a basic question, but I have a hard time getting asparagus just right! lol Thanks for posting such delicious recipes!

      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.
