3 1/2 C water, or broth

1 1/2 C uncooked long-grain white rice

3/4 tbsp. salt

1/4 C flat parsley leaves

1/4 lb. chopped fresh spinach leaves

1/4 lb. chopped fresh mustard greens

1/4 lb. chopped fresh kale leaves

1/4 C chopped scallions, including tender green tops

1 tbsp. vegetable, corn or olive oil

Salt (optional)

 

 

 

 

 

In large saucepan, bring water to boil over high heat. Stir in rice

and salt. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Remove from heat. Let stand, covered, for 5 minutes, or until water is

completely absorbed. Fluff with a fork. Leave rice, uncovered, off to

the side while preparing rest of dish. Bring a large saucepan of water

to a boil. Add parsley, spinach, mustard greens, kale and scallions,

and blanch for 1 minute. Drain in a colander under cold running water

to stop cooking process. Strain greens and place them in a blender or

food processor. Process, using just enough water to puree greens.

Strain, saving 1 tbsp. of the liquid. Heat a large skillet over medium

heat. Add oil, reserved tbsp. of liquid, and greens. Stir, and

immediately add cooked rice. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring

constantly, until rice is heated through. Taste and check seasoning,

adding salt if needed. This is a great side dish with meat, fish or

poultry.

 

Serves 8.
