One of my favorite activities in elementary school was to go to school on St. Patrick’s Day wearing green socks.
That way, when someone would pinch me for not wearing green, I could take off my shoe and reveal their worst nightmare.
That I got to punch them TEN TIMES.
I spent a lot of time punching people on St. Patty’s Day.
It was glorious.
My dish today, much like my outfit choice in elementary school, has hidden gems of green.
You probably shouldn’t punch the people who eat it though.
That’d be pretty messed up.
This rice is SO delicious and so versatile.
You can pair it with Mexican food, Asian food, grilled dishes, etc. The list goes on and on.

I would definitely recommend the fresh mushrooms.
Fresh is ALWAYS best.
