Ingredients

8 ounces whole onion or 7 ounces chopped ready-cut onion (1 2/3 cups)
3/4 cup long grain rice
1 1/2 cups no-salt-added chicken broth
2 scallions
1 pound fresh loose spinach or 10 ounces fresh packaged spinach
A few shakes of salt

Steps:

While the onion is cooking (see chicken recipe), combine the rice and chicken broth, and bring to a boil in a heavy-bottomed pot. Cover and simmer, cooking for a total of 17 minutes.
When the onion is browned, stir it into the cooking rice.
Wash, trim and slice the scallions, and add to rice; continue cooking.
Wash and trim tough stems from spinach, and cut coarsely. About 2 minutes before the rice is ready, stir in the spinach, and finish cooking. Season with salt.
