This recipe comes from a book called  “In-Style Parties” that I’ve had for years.

It’s warm and comforting with just enough green to make it taste fresh.  Perfect as a side dish for roast chicken or pork.

Typically, I like potatoes instead of rice as a side dish for meat, but this has all the elegance of a rich risotto without the whole standing and stirring forever.  Try it next time you’re looking for something different with meat.

      Hi Granny,

      Arborio Rice is the kind you use to make risotto. Sometimes it’s in the Italian Food section of the grocery store.

    I’m always looking for new sides…love potatoes, but your rice dish would make a lovely alternate. Healthier too!
