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.

This rice pilaf was amazing! The flavors were incredible and the rice was cooked perfectly. I especially loved the addition of the pine nuts, which added a nice crunch and nutty flavor. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This rice pilaf was good, but not great. The flavors were nice, but the rice was a bit too al dente for my taste. I also found the spinach to be a bit too overpowering. Overall, it was a decent dish, but I probably wouldn't make it again.

This rice pilaf was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. The flavors were a bit bland and the rice was a bit dry. I think it could have used more seasoning and maybe some vegetables.

This rice pilaf was a disaster! The rice was overcooked and mushy, and the spinach was limp and flavorless. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but this rice pilaf was surprisingly good! The spinach was cooked perfectly and didn't overpower the other flavors. The lemon and pine nuts added a nice brightness and crunch. I would definitely make this again.
