Rice Pilaf with spinach image

This is a delicious variation of rice pilaf...and adds a bit of nutrition (shh...don't tell the kids). Neither of my kids will eat spinach on its own, but this is their favorite rice

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pkg of your favorite rice pilaf (i use near east or knorr)
4 c water
2 Tbsp butter or margerine (optional)
1 pkg baby spinach

Steps:

  • 1. Make rice per package directions.
  • 2. When rice is done cooking and ready to set, add the package of baby spinach (don't worry--it will look like a LOT of spinach, but it will be fine) and re-cover.
  • 3. Let set covered three or more minutes to steam the spinach.
  • 4. Uncover and stir until everything is blended together beautifully (see, I told you the amount of spinach would be reasonable). If needed, re-cover and let steam some more if the spinach is still too separate.
  • 5. Serve and enjoy.
