Mom's Christmas Rice | Taste of Trini

Merry Christmas everyone! Here's a great Christmas lunch idea. You can customize this Christmas or Festive Rice to your liking, just like my mom did. It's simple, tasty, and sooooo colourful!
You will need:
3 cups of cooked White Rice
1/2 cup of finely diced red and green Sweet Peppers or Bell Peppers
1/2 cup of dried Cranberries (Raisins can be used)
1/2 cup of chopped Walnuts, Cashews and Pecans
Scotch Bonnet Peppers (I used red and green)
5 Pimento Peppers sliced thinly
1 inch piece of Ginger, minced
5-8 cloves of Garlic, minced
1/4 cup of chopped Celery
1/4 cup of chopped Bandhania/Shadon Beni/Culantro/Recao
Red and green food colouring
Natural food colouring (I used Beet Powder and Matcha/Green Tea Powder)
1 tablespoon of Irish Butter + 1 tablespoon of Avocado Oil (Use the oil and butter of your preference)
Natural red colour alternatives: Beet Juice, Pomegranate Juice, Roucou (Achiote or Annatto).
Natural green colour alternatives: Spinach Powder or Juice, Parsley Juice or Kale Juice.

I tried this recipe. However, I used red and green food colouring. I also added a few drops of soya sauce at the end. The rice was delicious. Thanks for sharing.

Wow so colourful and festive! I'm no fan of raisins either, so the cranberries are inspired! Nice use of natural colouring agents. Have a wonderful time in Trinidad. I know how hard you have worked this year, so I know this is a well-deserved holiday for you. Big love to you, Kevin and all your family and friends in Trinidad.
