This super simple pesto rice recipe is full of wonderful flavor. This is a fabulous recipe to serve alongside a roast chicken or meatloaf for an easy family dinner. This recipe only uses three ingredients, but it tastes like so much more than that. You can use your own homemade pesto or buy some pesto at the grocery store. Pesto is an italian sauce made from fresh basil, garlic, parmesan cheese, olive oil, and pine nuts. You can make your own if you can find fresh basil in the market, or if you grow your own basil. It's easy to make and takes only as long as needed to put the ingredients in your food processor. But pre-made pesto is also delicious. Frozen brown rice is a great convenience food. It's super fast to make and it always turns out perfectly. If you want to serve more people, double or triple the recipe. You can also make this recipe by using cooked brown rice. Cook it according to the package directions until it's tender, then drain it if necessary. It's also easy to save some rice without the pesto to serve to picky eaters.
