MOM'S GREEN RICE
MY MOTHER-IN-LAW always served green rice with her chicken casserole. She was a great cook, and the local newspaper featured her several times as "cook of the week". This creation of hers is one of our family's favorites. I'm thrilled to share it with Reminisce readers. -Nancy Beatty, Springfield, Illinois

GREEN RICE WITH TOMATOES, EGGS, AND ALMONDS
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.

GREEN RICE (CHEESY BROCCOLI RICE)
This recipe contains green chiles which is different from the other recipes posted. We make this every year for Thanksgiving and we fight over the left overs. We usually double the recipe. Feel free to use more or less broccoli to suit your tastes. You can increase the ratio of rice to broccoli if you have picky eaters. If you increase the amount of rice also increase the amount of Cheez Whiz.

Tips:
- Use day-old rice, as it holds its shape better and doesn't get mushy.
- 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.
