Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pesto Rice

   In a medium saucepan, cook the Carolina Gold rice according to package instructions. While it's cooking, prepare the pesto.

   Make the Pesto

   In a food processor, combine the basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, minced garlic, and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Blend until smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

3. 3

   Combine Rice and Pesto

   Once the rice is cooked, fold in the pesto until well combined. Set aside and keep warm.
