Green Goddess Rice Bowl
My Canadian sister in law is so super healthy, and this is one of her favorite dishes from one of her favorite restaurants, which happens to be in her neighborhood. The closest I’m ever going to get to being as fit as annie is occasionally eating as well as she.
It is likely that the last time she ate meat was at my wedding, when the charming historic inn out in the country put bacon in our “vegetarian” entree. This was something of a disaster for the groom, as well. Believe me, I had done an adequate job of communicating to the staff what I wanted on the menu. So I, the bride, polluted my brand-new husband and sister-in-law. I still haven’t forgiven The Century Inn, but it is a really beautiful place. I guess that after 200+ years you can’t expect them to up and modernize overnight – they brag that the rooms all have private baths.
From refresh, the cookbook of the Fresh restaurants in Toronto.
