  I made this the other night. Was nice, but couldn't really taste the lemon, so added the juice of half a lemon to it as well as the zest.

  Followed the last comment and added the juice of half a lemon - tasted lovely and had good compliments from my guests! I served it with roasted garlic chicken thighs - was a great combination as the lemon cut through the slightly greasy chicken. Will definitely make again.

  I used normal mushrooms and also added the juice of half a lemon. I couldn't really taste the chives (only the parsley) and it definately needed the extra seasoning at the end. It was quick and easy to make and would be great served with any type of meat or fish.

  I thought the recipe was quite bland and I couldn't taste the lemon

  Great dish, but I used the zest & juice of a whole lemon.

  I found that the chives added little flavour so substituted the green parts of spring onions, sliced finely on the diagonal. On another occasion I finely sliced half a red onion and soaked it briefly in the lemon juice before adding to the rice. Both went down well.

  swapped the lemon for cashew nuts as I cant get fresh lemons where I live. The flavour was nice and complemented the main dish.
