Breakfast Basmati Rice with Bananas
Not your average porridge, the ingredient list to this rice and bananas hybrid might be seem a bit out there, but to many Mexican households, it’s an absolute staple. Bringing together sweet and savory flavors, this recipe calls for fresh garlic, a spring of parsley and olive oil. Yes, you heard right. Top it all off with bananas and you’ve got yourself a new take on breakfast.
Step 1
Rinse rice in cool water until water runs clear. Drain any excess water. Place water and garlic in a blender and puree.
Step 2
Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add rice and sauté 1-2 minutes. Do not brown.
Step 3
Add garlic water, salt and 1 parsley sprig. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover. Simmer 20 minutes, or until all liquid is absorbed.
Step 4
Serve rice topped with bananas and remaining parsley sprig.
