So originally, I wanted to call this "Booger Rice", because it's brown and green. But then I got back in touch with reality and realized there was nothing appetizing about that, even though I did find it kind of hilarious. I then contemplated calling it "Brown and Green Rice" - but again, where's the appeal in that? This is a quick, easy and healthy side that was paired perfect with chicken. It's similar to a fried rice in terms of the cooking technique - but without all the extra fat and sodium.
Green Goddess Rice
Ingredients
1 c chopped broccoli (if fresh, steam prior to)
4 green onions, chopped
1 tsp garlic
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp fresh cracked pepper
1 small vidalia onion, diced
1 tsp olive or coconut oil
1/2 tbsp butter
4 C cooked, brown rice
Heat olive or coconut oil, add in onions, saute until slightly browned. Add in broccoli, garlic, salt, pepper and saute until softened. Add 1/2 tbsp of butter, add green onions then add in rice and cook until slightly crisped. Serve warm.
That's it - super easy but super delicious. I recommend adding more seasonings as you see fit - I love garlic and salt but didn't want to overwhelm the great taste of grilled sweet onions.
