Incredible Green Rice

Submitted by Mamas Kitchen Hope

"This is a great way to serve rice. The 'green' comes from parsley and green onion. Very tasty and easy! For those saying it needed salt, if you are using a low salt broth of course you should add salt! Also, if you are a salt lover, ADD SALT! It's best to add a little salt to the liquid if you feel the need. See NOTE: Found this in Quick Cooking recipes 2002.  ***NOTE: If you are using chicken broth you may want to add a 1/2 tsp of salt to the pot. Bouillon is already salty and doesn't require any. Likewise with butter. If you are using unsalted and a little salt to the pot. "

This was too bland and the parsley overpowered the dish. I realized after the fact that it called for no salt, but boy could it have used some. I might try it again with more seasoning and possibly substitute cilantro for the parsley.

This rice was delicious and very quick and easy to make. I followed your directions exactly and got a tasty pot of rice which was served with baby back pork ribs, yellow beans and sweet carrotes. It was a perfect match for all the dishes, great texture and flavors. I will certainly make this again.

This is a great side, really easy & tasty. I did this alongside some kashmiri lamb & it was great, I made as directed but next time will do it in the rice cooker which should work just as well. Thanks Mama!!

This is a lovely and flavorful rice dish! We had it with grilled salmon and it was a wonderful pairing. I will make this one again for sure! Thanks mama!
