This dish had a lot more flavor than I expected!
I boiled my rich with a little salt and butter. This gave the rice a lovely buttery flavor to start.
The egg and milk act as binders of a sort. They definitely help the rice stick together once baked.
The garlic was on the strong side. I had a very large garlic clove, so you could make the garlic a little more mild by using a smaller clove.
The cheese gives the rice some creaminess. And you get a bit of the sharp cheddar flavor.
The parsley is why it is called “green” rice. I think it could use a touch more parsley honestly. There are touches of green, but it isn’t really green.
The curry powder is such a small amount, you don’t really taste it. At least, the rice doesn’t taste like curry. It certainly enhances the other ingredients.
It was a lovely side dish. I liked it quite a lot.
