Emerald Rice Recipes

EMERALD RICE

Steps:

• Preheat your broiler to high.
• Heat the rice in your microwave until it's warmed through. Place the rice in a flameproof casserole or baking dish and toss with the melted butter, the chopped cilantro, parsley, lime zest and Parmesan. Place the dish under the broiler for 5 to 7 minutes, until the cheese is browned. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

EMERALD RICE BAKE (BROCCOLI)

Steps:

• Cook onions in butter over medium heat just until tender.
• Stir in rice, soup and broccoli (I usually add about an extra 1/2 cup of cheddar in with this, too).
• Turn into a buttered, shallow, 1 1/2 quart casserole.
• Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top.
• Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until cheese starts to brown.

EMERALD FRIED RICE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the finely shredded greens with 1 teaspoon salt and leave for 10 minutes, then squeeze out the liquid and chop finely.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a frying-pan or crepe pan.
• Pur in the beaten egg and allow to spread thinly over with a palette knife and cook the other side gently.
• Remove the omelette and cut into fine shreds.
• Heat another tablespoon of oil in the frying-pan and add the finely chopped greens.
• Stir-fry for about 30 seconds, then remove from the pan.
• Heat the remaining oil in a wok until it is smoking.
• Add the spring onions, then the rice, and toss well together until the rice is heated through.
• Add the remaining salt with the MSG, greens, omelette shreds and ham.
• Toss all together and serve hot on a serving dish.
