Steps:
- Step 1 Add 1 cup water, spinach, onion, cilantro, and garlic to bowl of blender. Puree until mixture is bright green and smooth, about 2 minutes; set aside.

Add reserved spinach mixture and chicken bouillon mixture to pot. Stir to distribute rice evenly. Bring liquid to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, covered, until rice is tender and water is absorbed, about 25 minutes. Step 3 Remove pot from heat. Gently stir in cheese. Serve warm.
MARIA'S GARLIC RICE WITH SPINACH
This rice includes wine and plenty of garlic. It is crucial to use good quality freshly peeled garlic from whole heads for the success of this rice. The rice can be made vegetarian by using water in place of the chicken broth. This recipe is from Baja: Cooking on the Edge.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a 2-quart saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Add the onion and saute until softened but not browned.
- Add the rice and cook, stirring, until the rice has absorbed the oil and is lightly golden. Add the wine and cook until the rice has absorbed the wine. Add the stock, cover, and turn the heat to low. Cook without peeking until the rice is done, about 15 minutes. Keep warm.
- While the rice is cooking, chop the garlic with the salt until it is almost a paste. The salt will bring the juices out of the garlic and help with the chopping as well as season the rice.
- When the rice is done, fluff it with a chopstick or fork. Stir in as much of the garlic paste as you have the nerve for. Stir in the spinach and replace the lid for 5 minutes; the spinach will steam with the heat from the rice. Serve as soon as possible.

Steps:
- Rinse the spinach well in cold water to make sure it's very clean. Spin it dry in a salad spinner, leaving just a little water clinging to the leaves.
- In a very large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and saute the garlic over medium heat for about 1 minute, but not until it's browned. Add all the spinach, the salt, and pepper to the pot, toss it with the garlic and oil, cover the pot, and cook it for 2 minutes. Uncover the pot, turn the heat on high, and cook the spinach for another minute, stirring with a wooden spoon, until all the spinach is wilted. Using a slotted spoon, lift the spinach to a serving bowl and top with the butter, a squeeze of lemon, and a sprinkling of sea or kosher salt. Serve hot.

Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and texture than frozen spinach.
- Wash the spinach thoroughly: Spinach can have a lot of grit and dirt, so it's important to wash it thoroughly before using it.
- Don't overcook the spinach: Spinach cooks very quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Overcooked spinach will be slimy and lose its flavor.
- Use a good quality rice: The type of rice you use will affect the flavor and texture of the dish. Basmati rice is a good choice for this dish because it has a light, fluffy texture.
- Sauté the aromatics: Sautéing the aromatics (onion, garlic, and ginger) in butter or oil will help to release their flavors and add depth to the dish.
- Use a flavorful broth: The broth you use will add flavor to the rice, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Chicken broth or vegetable broth are both good options.
- Add the spinach at the end: Add the spinach to the rice towards the end of the cooking time, so that it doesn't overcook.
- Season to taste: Season the rice with salt and pepper to taste.
Conclusion:
Garlicky spinach rice is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be served with a variety of main courses. It's a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables, and it's also a good source of fiber and protein. If you're looking for a healthy and flavorful side dish, this garlicky spinach rice is a great option.
