i have said before that i am not a huge fan of spinach, but i thought that i would give this a try because i like hiding vegetables in things. my husband really enjoyed this... he is still surprised every time he eats spinach and likes it! i was hoping that my kids would feel the same way, but they didn't. Oli wouldn't even try it because it was green and AJ has been following in his footsteps and doesn't touch anything green either (i knew this was a long shot for her because she doesn't like rice either)
rice with spinach
from http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/06/rice-with-spinach.html
1 cup brown rice
2 cups chicken broth
10 oz frozen spinach, thawed
2 cloves garlic
4 tsp olive oil
In a small pot, heat 2 tsp oil. Add rice and saute about 1 minute. Add chicken broth and bring to a boil. Cook about 20 minutes. Shut flame off and keep covered another 5 minutes to let the steam finish cooking the rice.
Meanwhile, in a saute pan, heat remaining olive oil. Add garlic and saute until golden. Add spinach, mixing well for about 4 minutes.
Toss rice with spinach and serve.
