Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Begin by rinsing your rice under cold water to remove excess starch.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, being careful not to let it burn.
- Stir in the rinsed rice, and allow it to cook for about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Gradually stir in the chopped spinach, allowing it to wilt into the rice mixture.
- Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed all the liquid.
- Once cooked, remove the pot from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and serve!
Notes
Substitutions include kale or Swiss chard. Leftover rice can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator or frozen for about 3 months. Reheat with a splash of broth or water.
