Green Rice

Name: Green Rice
Ingredients: 1 cup chicken stock; 1/2 cup packed flat-leaf parsley leaves; 1/4 cup packed mint leaves; 2 tablespoons minced chives; 1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves; 2 teaspoons fennel seeds; 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil; 3/4 cup finely diced fennel; 3/4 cup finely diced red onion; 1 chile de árbol; 1 1/2 cups white basmati rice; 1 tablespoon unsalted butter; Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

January 24, 2012

To make this exotic green rice, simmer basmati rice in a broth of mint, chives, parsley, and cilantro perfumed with sautéed red onion, fennel, and fennel seeds. When you prepare the herbs, don’t waste too much time on fastidious herb-picking. They all get puréed into an emerald green broth, so no one will ever know if you cheated a little and left some of the stems on.
