Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach tightly packed
- ½ cup cilantro tightly packed
- 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ½ cups basmati rice
- ¼ cup onion finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic finely minced
Instructions
- Place the spinach, cilantro, chicken broth, milk and salt in a blender container and blend for about 30 seconds, until well pureed.
- In a medium saucepan heat olive oil and butter until butter is melted. Add the rice and sauté, stirring about every 30 seconds, until light golden, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the onion and garlic and cook 1 minute, stirring frequently.
- Add the spinach/cilantro mixture, stir well and bring to a boil. Cover the pan, turn heat to very low and cook for 20 minutes.
- Stir the rice gently (to avoid crushing) with a fork. Cover and continue cooking on very low heat another 5 minutes.
- Take the pan off heat and let rice steam in the covered pot for 10 minutes. Fluff with a fork and serve.
