Spinach Rice Recipe

Instructions:
step 1 Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.
step 2 In a large saucepan, heat oil or butter over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
step 3 Add garlic, curry powder, turmeric, and cumin (if using). Stir for 1 minute until fragrant.
step 4 Add the rinsed rice to the pan and stir to coat the grains with the spices and oil.
step 5 Pour in the water or broth, season with salt, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
step 6 Stir in the green peas and spinach. Cover again and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
step 7 Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot as a side dish to meats, curries, or Sunday plates.

Storage and Reheating Tips:
Store leftover spinach rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water or broth to restore moisture.
