Italian Green Rice
Ingredients
1 pound fresh spinach
2 Tbsp. olive oil
2-1/4 C. chicken broth, fat free, in divided uses
1/4 C. onion, finely chopped
1/4 C. celery, finely chopped
1 tsp. salt, or to taste
1/8 tsp. ground white pepper
1-1/2 C. rice
Cooking Instructions
Wash the sand from the spinach. Discard the stems and place the leaves in a food processor. Chop in batches and set aside. Heat the oil and 1/4 C. chicken stock in a medium saucepan. Add onion, celery, salt and pepper. Cook briefly, stirring. Raise the heat; add the spinach. Cook until spinach begins to release its own liquid. Stir, if necessary. With the heat still on high, add 2 C. of chicken stock (or water). Reduce the heat and cover. Continue to cook 20 minutes. Check to see if the rice is done or needs more liquid. Serve when ready as desired.
