Lemon Rice Pilaf:
1 tablespoon (1 turn around the pan in a slow stream) extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 tsp honey
1 tsp garlic salt
pepper to taste
1 large shallot, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups long grain rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
A few sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped and chopped, about 1 tablespoon (optional)
1 (14-ounce) can or 2 cups chicken broth or stock
1 cup water
1 handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped
1.5  lemon, squeezed

Prepare Pilaf: heat a medium saucepan or pot over moderate heat. Add oil and butter and shallots to the pan. Saute shallots 2 minutes, then add 1 1/2 cups rice. Lightly brown rice 3 to 5 minutes. Add wine, honey and fresh sqeezed lemon and allow it to evaporate entirely, 1 to 2 minutes. Add thyme and chicken broth to the rice. Fill broth can half-again with water or, measure 1 cup water and add to pot. Bring liquid to a boil. Add garlic salt and pepper if desired...Cover rice and reduce heat. Cook rice 20 minutes, until tender.

It was delicious!  I attempted it last night.  Only thing I'd change next time is using white rice.  I used brown and it dominated a bit.

Thanks MKlacza!!
