Ingredients
To whip up this Green Rice, you’ll need these ingredients:
- 1 cup of long-grain white rice
- 2 cups of vegetable broth (or chicken broth if you prefer)
- 1 cup of fresh spinach leaves, packed
- 1 cup of fresh parsley leaves, packed
- 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro leaves, packed
- 1 clove of garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 teaspoon of salt (to taste)
- Juice of 1 lime
Instructions
Now that we’ve got our ingredients, here’s how to put it all together:
- Start by rinsing your rice in cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and keeps your rice from being sticky.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn it!
- Add the rinsed rice to the saucepan and stir it around to coat it in the oil and garlic. Toast the rice for about 2-3 minutes, or until it starts looking slightly golden.
- In a blender, combine the spinach, parsley, cilantro, and vegetable broth, blending until smooth. Pour this green goodness over the toasted rice.
- Season with salt and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.
- Once the rice is cooked, remove it from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and squeeze the lime juice over it right before serving.
And there you have it! A gorgeous and flavorful Green Rice dish that’s perfect as a side or a main event at your table. Enjoy every bite, and share the love with everyone around!
