Pesto Rice

 

 

Servings: 4

Prep time: 5

Cook time:15

 

 

Ingredients

 

• 1 cup basmati rice

• 2 cups water
• 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
• 2 tsp salt

Instructions

 

1. Cook rice according to the directions, but add the cherry tomatoes into the boiling water, this allows them cook and break down a bit.

Notes:

 

For when you defrosted too much pesto, and you have had Mexican rice a bazillion times, shake it up by adding some pesto to freshly cooked rice.
