Garlic Lemon Rice

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat until shimmering, about 1 minute.

Add sliced onion and thinly sliced celery to the hot oil, stirring frequently until softened and beginning to turn translucent, approximately 3-4 minutes.

Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Add cooked brown rice and cooked wild rice to the skillet, breaking up any clumps with a spoon or spatula.

Stir frequently for 2-3 minutes, allowing the rice to heat through and combine evenly with the aromatics and oil.

Season with salt and ground white pepper, stirring to distribute the seasonings throughout the rice.

Pour lemon juice over the rice and toss gently to combine, ensuring the bright citrus flavor is evenly distributed.

Transfer to a serving dish and serve warm as a side dish.
