SPINACH RICE

I was looking on the site for a spinach rice recipe (I loved the one from Pati Jinich last quarter) and came across a bunch of recipes from a writer for the Style section in the early 2000s, which seemed so incongruous but fun, so I went down the rabbithole of reading his articles with recipes.

Anyway, this one is for spinach rice balls (like arancini) which I would make next time when I make extra rice, but this time I stopped with the rice part.

Simple ingredients – aromatics, spinach, hot sauce (I used chilli flakes), pine nuts (didn’t have any), and parmesan cheese.

Funnily enough, there is also a Spinach Rice recipe in the same article that skips the aromatics but includes cilantro and parsley, and purees the greens.
