Steps:
- Place kale in a large bowl. Drizzle over oil, sprinkle with a small pinch of salt and pepper. Scrunch with hands for 30 seconds, set aside while rice cooks.
- Melt butter in a large pot over medium high heat. Add garlic and stir for 1 minute until just starting to turn golden and is incredibly fragrant.
- Add rice, stir for 10 seconds.
- Add broth, stir, then cover.
- Turn heat down to medium or medium low so the liquid is simmering very gently. Cook for 12 - 15 minutes until all liquid is absorbed (tilt pot to check).
- Quickly toss all the kale on top of the rice, put the lid back on then remove from heat.
- Rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Fluff rice with fork, stirring kale through.
- Lastly, stir through extra butter and add salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve and sprinkle over nuts (or stir nuts through rice).

Add all of spinach, salt, and pepper and cook, turning and stirring with tongs, until wilted and tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in 2 teaspoons lemon juice, then add rice and stir until just combined.

Steps:
- Cook the rice in a rice cooker, or according to the directions on the package. (Don't make it too dry... a little moisture will help it all stick together later!)

- Chop off the bottom 1" or so of the stems; tear or chop the remaining leaves and stems into 2"-3" long sections.
- Toss the spinach into a pot, along with 1/4 cup of water.
- Heat on high; when the water boils, cover the pot.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the spinach is wilted.
- Drain and set aside.
- In a skillet, heat 2 tbsp.
- olive oil on medium.
- When the oil is hot (throw in a piece of garlic and it sizzles), add the chopped garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the garlic begins to soften and turn translucent.
- Add the drained spinach and sauté for another couple of minutes.
- Season to taste with salt and plenty of pepper.
- Add the cooked rice and stir well to combine.
- Taste, then add more salt and pepper as necessary.
- Serve.
