The Green Revolution has obviously gone south of the border, if my dinner tonight is any indication. I ate at a restaurant called Zapotec in Oak Bluffs, which claims to serve authentic Mexixan recipes, and who am I to say they don't? But I've sat down to many Mexican meals in my day and I've never heard of "green rice.""Would you like white or green rice?" my server asked. "What is green rice?" I asked. She explained that it's white rice that's been tossed with lime juice, cilantro and a few other spices. Color me tempted. I ordered the green rice and was immediately pleased with the slightly tangy combination of the lime and the cilantro; quite often, I barely touch the rice at restaurants, but this was a treat and I fully intend to serve it at home one of these days.
