The true Christian was intended by Christ to prove all things by the Word of God, all churches, all ministers, all teaching, all preaching, all doctrines, all sermons, all writings, all opinions, all practices. These are his marching orders. Prove all by the Word of God; measure all by the measure of the Bible; compare all with the standard of the Bible; weigh all in the balances of the Bible; examine all by the light of the Bible; test all in the crucible of the Bible. That which cannot abide the fire of the Bible, reject, refuse, repudiate, and cast away. This is the flag which he nailed to the mast. May it never be lowered!

INSTRUCTIONS

Note: Other basils, parsley, lemon thyme, lemon verbena, or any combination
of these herbs may be substituted for, or used along with, lemon basil. To
toast almonds, place in a pie pan and bake in a preheated 325 degree oven,
turning occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Be careful not to burn. To crush
toasted almonds, place in a clean dishtowel and lightly crush with rolling
pin or back of a heavy wooden spoon.
In a medium-size flameproof casserole, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons
butter. Add the rice, and saute on medium heat, stirring frequently, until
rice is golden (5 minutes). Add the onion and garlic, and saute about 4
minutes. Add the chicken broth, wine, and lemon juice, and bring to a boil;
reduce heat and simmer covered 15 to 16 minutes. Quickly add the green
onions, almonds, salt and pepper, lemon basil, and remaining 2 tablespoons
butter, lightly mixing to melt the butter. Place 6 lemon slices on top and
allow to stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Before serving, mix well,
arranging the lemon slices on top. Garnish with additional lemon basil
sprigs. This recipe serves 6.
Comments: Lemon basil's fresh flavor and aroma make this rice a delicious
and lovely accompaniment to fish, chicken, or lamb. Green flecks of herbs,
toasted almonds, and thin lemon slices further the elegance.
