Ok, the answer was supplied, so I thought I'd send it along here.

2 cups raw rice
4 cups water
1/4 teaspoon salt, more or less to taste
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons firmly packed crushed peppermint leaves, or 2 teaspoons
dried 
peppermint crushed in a mortar with 2 tablespoons crushed fresh parsley
natural green food "paint"

In a large heavy saucepan, combine the rice, water, salt, butter, food 
coloring, if desired, and peppermint paste.  Bring to a quick boil over a

high heat.

Cover and simmer until all the liquid is absorbed, about 12 to 15
minutes.  
The rice should be a delicate green color.



For my faults,
