Onion1 medium
Fresh Spinach200 g
Vegetable Broth400 ml
Lemon Juice(optional)1 tbsp
Salt and Black Pepper1 pinch

Instructions

1
Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.
2
Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
3
Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened but not browned.
4
Add the rice to the pan and stir constantly for 2 minutes to lightly toast the grains.
5
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 15 minutes (or follow package timing if using brown rice).
6
Remove from heat. Quickly place the fresh spinach on top of the rice and cover again immediately. Let it steam off the heat for 5 minutes.
7
Uncover, add lemon juice (if using), season with salt and pepper, and fluff with a fork, incorporating the wilted spinach into the rice.
