Green Rice

Submitted by Clever Cooking

"Looking for something different than the traditional Corned beef and cabbage fare to serve this St. Patrick’s Day?  Look no further than Green Rice. This versatile dish could take the spotlight as a main dish, and it serves nicely as a side dish too. I make it with spinach and white rice, but you can substitute with any green you like. "
