Greenbrier Avocado Basil Dip Food

CREAMY BASIL & AVOCADO DIP

Steps:

• Add everything to a blender or food processor and process until smooth, about 30 seconds.
• If you have a high powered blender, all you need to do is throw everything in the blender and blend until smooth. If your blender isn't as strong, you may need to mince your garlic and basil first to make sure everything gets mixed thoroughly.

GREENBRIER AVOCADO BASIL DIP

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, puree egg yolk, capers, garlic, mustard, anchovy paste, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, honey, sour cream, Tabasco sauce, and soy sauce. With processor/blender running slowly, add canola oil slowly to emulsify mixture to mayonnaise-like texture. (If the emulsion is too thick, add a teaspoon or two of water.) Add spinach, basil and avocado to the mixture and puree for a minute or until mixture is a solid green color. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Place avocado basil dip in serving bowl, cover and refrigerate until needed.

GREEN GODDESS RICE

Steps:

• Bring the rice, 3 cups water, and a pinch of salt to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, stir, cover, and cook until water is completely absorbed, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, put the avocado, basil, lemon juice, oil, and 1/4 cup water in the jar of a blender and puree; season generously with salt and pepper. Add more water and puree until the mixture is the consistency of sour cream.
• Fluff the rice with a fork and gently fold the green dressing into the warm rice. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if necessary. Serve immediately.
