I love to dress up everyday ingredients and turn them into something extraordinary like my Ricotta Rice Tomatoes Florentine. I think I accomplished that with this incredibly delicious Lemon Asparagus Asiago Brown Rice using gluten free Minute® Whole Grain Brown Rice. The best part is that it is so easy to make yet tastes amazing. Mr. Flavor Mosaic and his Mom loved this Lemon Asparagus Asiago Brown Rice and asked when I would be making it again.
March is National Nutrition Month and it is an excellent reminder for us to continue to eat healthy and get ready for Summer. I love adding Minute® Rice to family meals because it is non-GMO, MSG and gluten-free, but mainly because it allows me to make a wholesome meal in 30 minutes.

In this fresh, quick and easy side dish, I add fresh lemon juice, fresh asparagus, and a little asiago cheese (my favorite) to Minute® Whole Grain Brown Rice. The lemon and asparagus as some fresh natural flavors, and the asiago cheese adds that unique nutty salty flavor to the taste of the rich, nutty whole grain brown rice. In addition to being delicious and wholesome, the whole grain and fresh vegetables really fill me up, which is key when trying to eat healthier. This is why I keep Minute® Whole Grain Brown Rice in the pantry. I know I can have the delicious wholesome whole grain brown rice ready in only 5 minutes!
