Green Vegetable Rice Recipe
Updated August 2025
This green vegetable rice has a fried rice vibe, but with a Mediterranean flavour profile. The green “sauce” comes from our delicious Farm Boy™ Arugula Pesto, blended with cilantro, jalapeño, and lime juice for a bit of kick and brightness. Add some richness with creamy Farm Boy™ Barrel Aged Feta or Farm Boy™ Original Goat Cheese, and enjoy!
