Green Rice
- 1 c brown rice
- 2 ½ c water*
- 2 c spinach**, finely chopped
- ½ c scallions, finely chopped
- ½ c fresh parsley, preferably flat leaf
- ¼ c fresh basil, finely chopped
- Pinch of nutmeg
In a pan, bring water and rice to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cover. Allow to cook until tender, approx. 30-40 minutes. In a separate pan, over medium heat stir spinach until it begins to wilt. Once wilted, stir into rice with remaining ingredients.
*cooking rice in vegetable or chicken broth gives it added flavor.
**Swiss chard works great too. It won’t wilt like spinach so add a little water to the pan and lightly steam it.
