Instructions



1. Cook olive oil and rice in a heavy, medium-size saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until rice grains are golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
   
   
2. Add celery, onion, and garlic. Stir over moderate heat until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in broth, lemon juice, butter, dill, sugar, pepper, and salt. Bring to boiling. Float lemon slices on top.
   
   
3. Cover rice and lower heat; simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed -- 15 to 18 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes; serve garnished with fresh dill sprig, if desired.
