Cooking Steps

Prep and make rice

  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice and garlic puree then reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
  • Roughly chop spinach.
