Green Goddess Rice(aka Christmas rice!)

Essentially this takes eight ingredients! Nice to bring to the holidays too (atleast its color appropriate)

Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 25 minutes

What you'll need:

1 1/2 cups of Basmati rice

1 small avocado peeled and chopped(or if you're like me and want it already done, buy two packets of Wholly packaged guacamole**honestly it taste better-use both packets if you want!)

1 cup of packaged fresh basil leaves
1 lemon juiced
1/4 cup of water
3 tbsp of olive oil
1 cup of chopped pimentos(or roasted red peppers)
2 tbsp of Feta
1 tbsp of cilantro
salt and pepper to taste









1. Bring rice to boil with 8 cups of water, and cook uncovered for 15 minutes, let sit for ten minutes after most of water is absorbed and let sit for ten minutes.

2. Meanwhile put wither packaged guacamole or avocado, basil, lemon juice, cilantro, half of the red peppers, olive oil, water in a blender and puree. Season with salt and pepper (try seasoning salt!) The consistency should be that of sour cream.

3.Fluff the rice with a fork and add the green mixture into the rice. Add more salt and pepper if needed and top with more red peppers.

4. Garnish with cilantro and feta! yum. Happy holidays!
