Green Rice

Green rice: it's not just what happens if you forget about the rice in the fridge.

This recipe is from Rebar: The Modern Food Cookbook. Everything I've made from this cookbook has tasted incredible and most recipes are enjoyably complex. The green rice is very simple though.

All you do is liquify three bunches of greens: spinach, cilantro and italian parsley. Then cook one small onion and mince a couple of cloves of garlic. Combine everything with jasmine rice and cook the rice with the normal amount of water, minus the amount you used to liquify the greens.

It's great with Mexican food (this week I ate it with ancho lime tofu and roasted sweet potatoes with barbeque sauce) but it's also just a tasty way to incorporate more greens into your diet.
