An easy addition to any dish, especially when you needed something to go with the Mexican thing-a-ma-bob! Super easy and fast. Shoosh your rice!

When you are looking for that little carb kicker to accompany a dish, this is your go to. Super simple, quick as steaming rice and chopping a few things and so variable I am expecting great things from you all! Think other herbs, different chillies, dried add ins like crispy fried onions, diced veggies like capsicum or red onion, or celery. Really. Empty out your fridge rice. How about that for Cook Once, Eat Twice?

Love a green rice moment; it’s fresh, herby, and quietly does a lot of heavy lifting on the plate. Here are serving ideas that really let it shine:

Grilled or barbecued chicken thighs, especially with lemon, garlic or yoghurt marinades

Crispy-skinned salmon or ocean trout with a squeeze of citrus

Slow-roasted lamb shoulder or lamb cutlets with mint or chimichurri vibes

Pan-seared halloumi or grilled feta with honey and chilli

Roast chicken with pan juices spooned over the rice

Fried or soft-boiled eggs with chilli oil and flaky salt for a simple bowl

Charred prawns or shrimp with garlic, butter and a hit of lime

Beef kofta, meatballs or falafel with tahini or yoghurt sauce

Roasted vegetables like pumpkin, cauliflower or broccolini

As a base for a green rice bowl with avocado, pickles and a punchy dressing

Alongside curries that aren’t too saucy (think Thai chicken or veg curry)

With grilled sausages and a sharp salad for an easy weeknight plate

Add to any Mexican plate.
