Pea Pesto with Rice

This is a delicious way to give your kids vegetables. I made a pesto with peas and then mixed it with cooked rice- it was absolutely delicious…

• 1 ½ cups frozen peas, blanched in boiling water for a minute and drained
• 1 garlic clove, smashed
• ½ cup cilantro, chopped
• 2 green onions, chopped
• ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups basmati rice, cooked al dente

Place the blanched peas, garlic, cilantro, green onions, oil and salt in a food processor and process till smooth. Take out and check for seasonings. Add to warm, cooked rice. Mix well and serve.
