Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces whole onion or 7 ounces chopped ready-cut onion (1 2/3 cups)
3/4 cup long grain rice
1 1/2 cups no-salt-added chicken broth
2 scallions
1 pound fresh loose spinach or 10 ounces fresh packaged spinach
A few shakes of salt

Steps:

  • While the onion is cooking (see chicken recipe), combine the rice and chicken broth, and bring to a boil in a heavy-bottomed pot. Cover and simmer, cooking for a total of 17 minutes.
  • When the onion is browned, stir it into the cooking rice.
  • Wash, trim and slice the scallions, and add to rice; continue cooking.
  • Wash and trim tough stems from spinach, and cut coarsely. About 2 minutes before the rice is ready, stir in the spinach, and finish cooking. Season with salt.

I'm not sure about this dish. The combination of rice and spinach seems a bit odd to me.

Overall, I thought this dish was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

The rice was a little undercooked for my liking, but the spinach was cooked perfectly.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I loved this dish! The rice was cooked perfectly and the spinach was wilted just the way I like it.

I made this dish last night and it was delicious! The rice was fluffy and the spinach was tender. I added a bit of garlic and onion to the recipe and it really took it to the next level.
