GREEN RICE / ARROZ VERDE
Pati’s Mexican Table
When I did an ingredient search for spinach on her website, this didn’t come up, but then I checked EYB and there it was.
It’s an easy and delicious dish — rice is cooked with some seasonings, a green sauce is made from spinach, cilantro, aromatics, and spices, and the two are combined before serving.
I used frozen, chopped spinach instead of baby spinach, so I tweaked the method to suit. I sautéed the spinach with aromatics and seasonings, cooked rice (using 1/3 proportion of quinoa) without any seasonings, and combined everything without pureeing (only the cilantro was pureed).
Really tasty! I could eat a pot of it just like this, but I made it as an accompaniment for roasted salmon.
