I’m showing you how to make a simple, minimal ingredient version with my own twist. Let’s get started! This 7-ingredient rice starts with making a green “broth” by blending cilantro, jalapeño pepper, water (or broth), and salt until smooth. Spirulina is a stealthy optional ingredient added for extra green color without affecting the flavor. You’ll rinse your rice and set aside before heating a large pot or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, sauté your onion and garlic until tender, then add rinsed rice and stir, cooking for a few more minutes to add some toasty flavor to the dish. Next, you’ll add your green broth, stir, bring to a low boil, then cover and turn to a simmer. Cook until tender — about 18-20 minutes.

The end result is a tender, fluffy pot of white rice infused with big flavor and green color. We hope you all LOVE this rice! It’s: SimpleTenderFluffyFlavorfulVersatile& Delicious! This would make the perfect side to the Easy Herb Baked Fish with Rainbow Peppers recipe we just shared!
