Greek Rice

 

Here I present my recipe for the glorious, Greek Rice.  You can’t hear me but I’m saying Greek the same way Michael Simon does 🙂

I love Greek food but I feel like I should be using quotes… like “Greek”… not Greek. I love the “Greek” food you get at the food court. You get Greek salad with rice, potatoes, souvlaki and Tzatziki. It was actually the inspiration for the menu for our annual end of summer bbq. We hosted it labour day weekend.

I call it the end of summer bbq instead of labour day bbq because it’s my way of sending off my favourite season with a family get together.

Greek rice

I’ve never been able to recreate Greek rice until I learned the method.

Baked

The rice is baked and it gets it golden hue from the turmeric.

Might I also recommend my…

Greek potatoes

And…

Greek salad

Truth be told, I went with store bought souvlaki 😱😱😱

What!?! I made the rice 🤣
