Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked brown rice see note
  • 1 bunch scallions sliced thin
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 colored peppers diced
  • 2 bags fresh spinach or 6 cups
  • Olive oil for sautéing
  • Salt to taste

Method
 

  1. Add scallions to a large frying pan with olive oil
  2. Saute for 5 minutes on medium heat
  3. Add garlic and saute until fragrant
  4. Add carrots and cook until carrots begin to caramelize. You may need to add more oil to the pan in between adding the vegetables.
  5. Add peppers and cook until they begin to soften
  6. Add spinach one handful at a time to avoid overflowing the pan
  7. As soon as the spinach wilts add more.
  8. When all the spinach is finished cooking, add the vegetables to a large bowl with rice.
  9. Season with salt and toss

Notes

To cook rice in the oven, I use slightly more than a 1:1 ratio of water to rice and then I add a bit of olive oil and salt. Cover tightly with foil and bake at 375. Starting checking the pan after 35 minutes to see if it's done
