Rice Pilaf with spinach image

This is a delicious variation of rice pilaf...and adds a bit of nutrition (shh...don't tell the kids). Neither of my kids will eat spinach on its own, but this is their favorite rice

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pkg of your favorite rice pilaf (i use near east or knorr)
4 c water
2 Tbsp butter or margerine (optional)
1 pkg baby spinach

Steps:

  • 1. Make rice per package directions.
  • 2. When rice is done cooking and ready to set, add the package of baby spinach (don't worry--it will look like a LOT of spinach, but it will be fine) and re-cover.
  • 3. Let set covered three or more minutes to steam the spinach.
  • 4. Uncover and stir until everything is blended together beautifully (see, I told you the amount of spinach would be reasonable). If needed, re-cover and let steam some more if the spinach is still too separate.
  • 5. Serve and enjoy.

This was my first time making rice pilaf and it was a success! The instructions were easy to follow and the dish turned out delicious. I served it with roasted chicken and it was a perfect meal.

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

The rice pilaf turned out great! I used brown rice instead of white rice and it was still delicious. The spinach added a nice pop of color and flavor.

This rice pilaf with spinach was an absolute delight! The flavors of the spinach, garlic, and onion blended perfectly with the fluffy rice. It was a great side dish for my grilled chicken and vegetables.
