Simply Sesame Dressed Rice

Ingredients

1 cup basmati or long grain white rice
8 ounces fresh sugar snap peas
1 1/2 teaspoons McCormick® Gourmet Collection Sesame Seed, Black
1 1/2 teaspoons McCormick® Gourmet Collection Sesame Seed
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 green onion, chopped

Directions

1. Bring 2 cups water to boil in medium saucepan. Add rice; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 15 minutes or until rice is tender.

2. Meanwhile, cook snap peas in boiling water 3 to 4 minutes or just until tender-crisp. Immediately place snap peas in bowl of ice water until cold. Drain well.

3. Toast sesame seeds in small skillet about 3 minutes or until fragrant. Immediately remove from skillet to avoid over-toasting. Mix sesame oil, lemon juice, lemon peel and salt in small bowl with wire whisk until well blended.
