Lenten Green Rice
6 servings
30 minutes
Firstly, you need to use jasmine rice: it is very tasty on its own. Secondly, a whole bunch of ingredients will give it additional flavors: olive oil, cilantro with spinach (they will also add colors), chili peppers and white onions with garlic, lime and sugar with salt. It turns out to be an excellent meal, which, like tabbouleh, can be eaten hot or cold.
