  1. Heat a sauce pan to medium heat. Then, pour in vegetable broth, water, rice, and fresh sage. Cook the rice according to the box/bag instructions.
  2. While rice is cooking, finely dice mushrooms, spinach, and white onion.
  3. Next, heat a skillet to medium heat and spray with cooking spray.  Add onions and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Then, add mushrooms and spinach. Turn to low heat.
  4. The rice should be done soon. Remove excess liquid. Then, add cooked rice into the skillet and stir with a rubber spatula or mixing spoon. Option to fold in light butter here.

Notes

  • This hold up well in the fridge for up to 5 days. Make a batch (or double batch) and throw some cooked protein on top for lunches throughout the week. You could also freeze this in an airtight container or individual servings in Ziploc bags. Then, when you’re ready to enjoy, thaw and put back in the skillet to warm and crisp up a bit.
  • You can use regular rice instead of Banza rice if you'd like. Still follow the recipe as written.
