I used to think spinach was only used in Nigerian soup dishes. As I grow and learn about new dishes, I am no longer afraid to experiment and re-invent. It goes with everything! Well I think so… Noodles, eggs, meatballs… the list goes on.

I am adding it to rice right now. Here is how:

Spinach Rice

Ingredients:

1 tbs vegetable ghee

1 tsp cumin seeds

1 tsp coriander seeds

1 tsp mustard seeds

1 tsp peppercorns

1 medium onion, sliced

spring onions, chopped

1 ½ basmati rice, washed and drained

1 cup of frozen spinach

salt to taste

Method:

Heat the ghee and fry the seeds and peppercorns until they start to pop. Add the rice and salt and stir thoroughly. Add a cup of water and the spring onions and spinach. When the rice is ready, mixed thoroughly to combine the spinach and the seeds and enjoy.
