Yield Makes 6 (side-dish) servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 very large onions, halved, sliced (about 4 cups)
1 large carrot, coarsely grated
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 cups arborio rice or medium-grain white rice
4 cups canned low-salt chicken broth or vegetable broth
1 6-ounce bag fresh baby spinach

Steps:

  • Heat oil in heavy large wide pot over medium heat. Add onions; sauté until tender and deep brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer 1/2 cup onion slices to small bowl and reserve. Add carrot, cumin, and garlic to onions in pot; stir 1 minute. Stir in rice. Add broth; bring to boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer until rice is tender and most liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Stir spinach into rice mixture; cover and cook until spinach wilts, about 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer pilaf to bowl; top with reserved 1/2 cup onion slices.

I'm allergic to spinach. Do you think I could substitute another vegetable, such as kale or chard?

I'm not sure about this recipe. The combination of rice, spinach, and caramelized onions seems a bit strange to me.

The instructions were a bit confusing and the dish didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. I think I might have overcooked the rice.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I added some garlic and chili powder to give it a little more flavor. I would also recommend using a different type of rice, such as basmati rice.

This was a great way to use up some leftover rice. I added some chopped bacon and bell peppers to the recipe and it turned out really well. I will definitely be making this again.

This dish was easy to make and so delicious! I used brown rice instead of white rice and it still turned out great. I also added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor. Yum!
