Greek Rice 

The perfect summer side

Traditional Greek-style rice is that delicious all-colored rice, which is usually served on a platter and once you have had your first bite, it's impossible to stop eating. It is a simple recipe where you don´t need to be supper expert and if you fancy to do something simpler and cozier. So, the tip I give for you to have a delicious whole meal, is to serve the Greek rice as a side dish of a roasted chicken or turkey, a salad well done, and a pudding for dessert.
