Parmesan-infused rice dish with herbs and sometimes tomato—an Italian-style alternative to plain rice, great as a side to meat or fish.
Ingredients:
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 teaspoons olive or canola oil 8 cups fresh spinach, chopped 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups hot cooked rice
- 1/2 cup chopped roasted sweet red peppers
Directions:
- In a large nonstick skillet, saute garlic in oil for 1 minute. Stir in spinach. Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes or until tender; drain well. Add the vinegar, salt and pepper. Stir in the rice and red peppers until combined. Cook and stir until heated through.
