"Martha Stewart showed up at Manhattan FBI Headquarters to have her finger prints taken and pose for a mug shot. Then Martha explained how to get ink off your fingers using seltzer water and lemon juice."
-Conan O'Brian, Comic
The flavor of the lemon goes well with the savory taste of the garlic and chicken stock. Both make a perfect complement to the nutty taste of brown rice. This is a great recipe to pair with more flavorful and exotic dishes like Indian Shrimp Curry, Polynesian Chicken or Jerk Shrimp.
