Turkish SPINACH AND CARROT RICE PILAF

1 Tbsp Unsalted Butter

1 Medium Carrot, Grated

1 Small Onion, Finely Chopped

1 Cup Long Grain Rice

2 Cups Vegetable Stock

10 Ounces Frozen Chopped Spinach

 

 

Melt butter in a heavy saucepan over medium high heat. Saute carrot

and onion 3-4 minutes or until onion begins to turn gold. Stir in

rice and saute another 3-4 minutes or until rice turns gold. Stir in

stock.Increase heat to high and bring to boil.Immediately reduce heat

to low.Cover saucepan and simmer 20 minutes or until rice is tender

and liquid is absorbed. Stir spinach into rice mixture and cook until

heated throughout.

 

ChupaNote: I added toasted almonds at the end. Also spiced it with

red pepper flakes and cinnamon. Turmeric with cardamon works fine

too. Its a forgiving recipe. Fool around with it.
