This confetti rice is one of my favorite made from scratch rice recipes for a quick weeknight side dish.
Occasionally, we like to have rice as a side dish at my house. Plain rice is not our thing, so I'm always mixing something into it. Confetti is a tasty option.
When I was making this rice the other night, I looked at the ingredients on the cutting board and thought the name, Confetti Rice, would describe it perfectly. Genius, I thought! Confetti rice is a perfect name for this dish.

I make a dish like this often. If I use homemade chicken stock, I usually have to add a bit of salt and pepper to the rice (store-bought stock has enough salt for me).
ReplyDeleteThis is a great alternative to buying packaged rice dishes because we can control the amount of salt. Homemade chicken stock is the best, but I don't always have it on hand.
