Like many of my recipes, this rice dish is perfect because you can swap in and out what veggies you have on hand. And no, the rice itself isn’t green, but it’s loaded with all sorts of green goodness. Have this as a side to a vegetable or bean dish, or just fill your plate with beautiful green rice.
