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

How To Make rice pilaf with spinach

Step 1

Make rice per package directions.

Step 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.
Step 3

Let set covered three or more minutes to steam the spinach.
Step 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.
Step 5

Serve and enjoy.
