How to Make Green Rice

1. Blend Greens and Stock

Start by blending the spinach, kale, vegetable stock, cashew cream, and kosher salt until you have a smooth, vibrant green mixture.

2. Drain and Rinse Rice

Next, drain and rinse the soaked rice thoroughly until the water runs clear.

3. Sauté Vegetables

Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the finely diced yellow onion and green bell pepper, and sauté them for about 5 minutes until they become soft and slightly golden.

4. Add Garlic

Once the onions and bell peppers are ready, add the minced garlic and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, just until the garlic becomes fragrant.

5. Toast Rice

Add the drained rice to the saucepan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently.

6. Add Green Mixture

Raise the heat to high and pour in the green mixture from the blender. Stir well and bring it to a rapid boil.

7. Simmer Rice

Once the mixture is boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer gently for 15 to 20 minutes.

8. Steam Rice

After the simmering time, remove the saucepan from the heat but keep it covered. Allow it to steam for an additional 10 minutes.

9. Fluff Rice

Finally, uncover the saucepan and fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains and enhance the texture.
