Traditional Arroz Verde with Aioli Sauce

On the Hob4

Traditional arroz verde is a vibrant, herb-forward rice dish with a fresh green colour and deeply savoury flavour. Blended herbs and aromatics infuse the rice as it cooks, creating a comforting but lively base.

Paired with a silky garlic aioli, it becomes a bold side or satisfying main, perfect with grilled meats, seafood, or roasted vegetables.

Method

15m25m40m
  1. Blend coriander, parsley, optional spinach, 2 garlic cloves, and a splash of stock into a smooth green paste.
  2. Heat olive oil in a pot and sauté onion until soft.
  3. Add rice and stir for 1 minute to coat grains.
  4. Stir in green herb paste and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Pour in hot stock, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a simmer.
  6. Cover and cook on low heat for 15–18 minutes until rice is tender and liquid absorbed.
  7. For aioli, mix mayonnaise with remaining minced garlic and lemon juice.
  8. Fluff rice, serve warm, and spoon aioli on top or alongside.

Ingredients

  • 120 g Mayonnaise for aioli
  • Salt, to taste
  • 80 g Spinach optional, for extra green colour
  • 1-2 Green chillies optional
  • 750 ml Vegetable Stock hot
  • 320 g Long Grain Rice rinsed
  • 4 cloves Garlic divided
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 medium Onion finely chopped
  • 1 large bunch Coriander roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp Lemon Juice for aioli
  • 1/2 bunch Parsley roughly chopped
  • Black Pepper, to taste

Notes

Blend herbs with a little stock for a smoother, more even green colour.

Keep the heat gentle once rice is covered to avoid sticking.

Add aioli just before serving so flavours stay bright and fresh.
