Traditional Arroz Verde with Aioli Sauce

serves 4

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.
