A flavorful and vibrant green rice dish with a blend of fresh herbs and a zesty lime finish.
Blend the scallions, cilantro, parsley, garlic, and salt in a food processor until smooth, adding a splash of water if needed.
Ensure the herbs are fresh for the best flavor.
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the rice and stir to coat, cooking for about 2 minutes.
Toasting the rice enhances its nutty flavor.
Mix the herb blend into the rice, stirring well to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes.
Stir continuously to prevent sticking.
Pour in the chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
Keep the lid on to retain steam and cook evenly.
Turn off the heat and stir in the lime juice. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Letting the rice rest allows the flavors to meld.
