Green Rice
Green Rice
The most flavorful rice you will ever have, loaded with cilantro, green onions, and garlic. Yum!
Ingredients
- 2 cups jasmine rice, rinsed
- 3 cups water
- 7 large green onions
- 5-7 garlic cloves (OR 1 tablespoon garlic powder)
- 1 bunch of carefully washed cilantro, stems included
- 3 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
Instructions
- Cook rice: bring water to boil, add rice, stir, cover tightly, and cook over low for 17 minutes. Turn off the burner, flake rice with fork, cover, and let sit.
- Cut root ends off green onions and discard. Slice green onions finely.
- Mince garlic and cilantro, including stems.
- In a skillet or large pot over medium-high heat, melt butter, then add green onions and garlic. Season with salt and white pepper, and sweat out vegetables for 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat.
- Add cilantro and mix well to wilt. Add rice a scoop at a time and continue mixing until the whole dish takes on a green color.
- Chef’s Note
- It’s important not to add too much rice to the greens, upsetting the balance of rice and aromatics. I add rice slowly, and usually have some leftover at the end. If you find the flavor too bold, just add more rice.
