Green Rice with Tomatoes, Eggs, and Almonds image

A batch of herby rice is a natural partner to peak-season tomatoes. But don't forget about this rice once those tomatoes are gone. Green rice works in any season-paired with roasted squash, crispy-skinned fish, or big pieces of fresh cheese, such as paneer.

Tips:

  • To give the rice a vibrant green color, blend a handful of fresh spinach or kale with a little bit of water before mixing it into the rice.
  • For a more flavorful dish, use a flavorful broth or stock to cook the rice.
  • Add some chopped sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, or artichoke hearts to the rice for a more colorful and flavorful dish.
  • If you don't have Parmesan cheese on hand, you can substitute another hard cheese, such as cheddar or Gruyère.
