Splendid Side – Green Rice

Sometimes I spend so much time investigating main courses that I totally forget the other parts of the meal. This recipe is so good, however, that it’ll make you forget the main course. The tiny toasted sesame seeds add such a nutty flavor and the copious amount of parsley keeps the dish light and fresh.

I served this dish with simply sauteed squash but I think it would be a great accompaniment for salmon, or any fish really, or chicken. Or beans. Or anything. Or nothing. Just alone. Yum.
