Lemon rice with seasonal vegetables

This colorful 7-ingredient side dish is bright and aromatic thanks to the lemon zest, lemon juice, and the turmeric, but we have the turmeric to thanks for its beautiful color as the rice steeps in it as it cooks—it comes highly recommended from our UK site. Bulk this rice up with the addition of chicken, pork, or shrimp to serve as an easy main dish. This recipe calls for boiling or microwaving the vegetables, but you can also steam them, if you like. You will need one head of broccoli to produce enough florets for this recipe. For a variation, substitute shredded cabbage for the broccoli; a turnip could replace the carrot.
