Best Fantastic Green Rice Dish Recipes

ARROZ VERDE (GREEN RICE)

Steps:

• To a blender or food processor, add cilantro, spinach, chicken stock, milk and salt. Puree until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
• Add olive oil and butter to a large saucepan (with tight fitting lid), and heat over MED heat.
• Add rice and stir. Saute rice, stirring often, until it starts to toast and turn golden brown. This will take about 3 minutes or so.
• Add onion, jalapeno and garlic, and saute for an additional minute, stirring constantly.
• Pour in pureed mixture, stirring to combine well.
• Increase heat to HIGH to bring to a boil. Once it boils, reduce heat to LOW, cover with lid, and cook for 20 minutes.
• Stir rice once, cover pan again and cook another 5 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and let rice sit in the covered pot for 10 minutes.
• Fluff with a fork and serve.
• Squeeze a lime quarter over the rice right before eating for extra freshness!

HOW TO MAKE GREEN RICE

Steps:

• Begin by rinsing the white rice in a fine mesh strainer until water runs clear. Set aside.
• To a blender add water, pepper, cilantro, sea salt, and spirulina and blend on high for 30 seconds or until completely combined. Set aside.
• Heat a large saucepan, dutch oven, or skillet (with a secure lid) over medium heat. Once hot, add avocado oil then onion and garlic and a healthy pinch of sea salt. Sauté until just tender - 3-4 minutes. Then add well-drained rice and begin toasting, stirring occasionally, for about 2-3 minutes.
• Slowly add the green mix from the blender to the pan and stir to fully combine - it should just cover the rice. Increase heat to high until the mixture reaches a low boil. Then reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and set a timer for 18 minutes. DO NOT open the lid until the timer goes off. At that point, the rice should be fluffy and the liquid should be absorbed. Turn off the heat, leave the lid on, and let the rice rest for 10 minutes before removing lid so the moisture can redistribute - this will help prevent mushy rice.
• Add lime juice or cilantro wedges as a garnish for serving. Rice is best when fresh, but will keep in the refrigerator up to 2-3 days. It is freezer-friendly up to 1 month.
