Spinach Rice recipes

Ingredients 

• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped small about 1 cup worth
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic minced
• 1½ cups uncooked white rice
• 4 cups chicken broth
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ½ teaspoon freshly cracked pepper
• 8 ounces fresh baby spinach roughly chopped, about 4 cups worth
• 1½-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice about ½ small lemon
• 2 tablespoons freshly shredded Parmesan cheese OPTIONAL

Instructions

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil. Add the onions and cook for 3-4 minutes, until translucent. Add the garlic and rice. Cook while stirring constantly for 2 minutes, until the rice has browned.
• Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
• Stir in salt, pepper, and chopped spinach. Cover for 2-3 minutes allowing the spinach to wilt. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, if desired. Cover for 2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt, then serve.
