Spinach Rice

Eating enough vegetables remains an ongoing struggle for everyone.

This recipe is a tasty way of incorporating a variety of vegetables into one pot.

I have always been amused by watching how, 1 cup of Rice and a few vegetables can fill up an entire pot. It is truly magical to see.

The flavour of this Spinach Rice is out of this world, it never disappoints.

Ingredients:

1T  Oil

1    Onion

2    Carrots

4    Fresh Garlic Cloves

1    Dried Red Chilli

1C   Long Grain Parboiled Rice

3    Fresh Tomatoes

1½C Chicken Stock

1   Bunch of Spinach

1t   Salt

1t  Crushed Black Pepper

      Fresh Coriander Leaves (bunch)

2. Grate the Fresh Tomatoes.

3. Wash and cut the Spinach Leaves.

4. Cut the Dried Red Chilli into smaller pieces with a kitchen scissors or knife.

5. Wash the Long Grain Parboiled Rice a few times, until the water runs clear.

6. Add the Oil, chopped Onion, Carrots, Garlic and Dried Red Chilli into a pot and fry everything on medium heat, until lightly brown. +/- 3 to 5 minutes.

7. Add the washed Rice to the pot, stir it through and fry for a further 3 minutes.

8. Add the grated Tomatoes, Chicken Stock, Spinach, Salt and Pepper.

9. Lower the heat, cover the pot with a lid and simmer it for 20 minutes.

10. Check and stir it often, until the rice is tender.

It really is That Simple…
