Brown Rice With Sauteed Spinach Lemon And Garlic Recipes

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large, wide pot over medium-high heat and cook, stirring often, until the milk solids are a deep golden brown and the butter smells nutty.
• Add the garlic, shallots and a 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring, about 30 seconds. Add the spinach in batches and cook, tossing to coat, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to a serving bowl.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, remove garlic and discard.
• Raise heat to high. Add spinach to skillet gradually, waiting for one batch to wilt before adding the next. Cook, tossing, until tender, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Drain liquid from skillet; add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• Cook the rice in a rice cooker, or according to the directions on the package. (Don't make it too dry... a little moisture will help it all stick together later!)
• Wash the spinach well-- spinach tends to be very gritty.
• Chop off the bottom 1" or so of the stems; tear or chop the remaining leaves and stems into 2"-3" long sections.
• Toss the spinach into a pot, along with 1/4 cup of water.
• Heat on high; when the water boils, cover the pot.
• Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the spinach is wilted.
• Drain and set aside.
• In a skillet, heat 2 tbsp.
• olive oil on medium.
• When the oil is hot (throw in a piece of garlic and it sizzles), add the chopped garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the garlic begins to soften and turn translucent.
• Add the drained spinach and sauté for another couple of minutes.
• Season to taste with salt and plenty of pepper.
• Add the cooked rice and stir well to combine.
• Taste, then add more salt and pepper as necessary.
• Serve.

Steps:

• Heat butter in a 1- to 2-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat until foam subsides, then cook shallots, stirring occasionally, until beginning to turn golden, about 2 minutes. Add rice and cook, stirring constantly, until grains turn opaque, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, then stir in broth and cook, covered, until liquid is absorbed and rice is just tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered, until ready to use.
• While rice is cooking, heat oil in a 6- to 8-quart heavy pot over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook garlic, stirring constantly, until it begins to turn golden, about 1 minute. Add all of spinach, salt, and pepper and cook, turning and stirring with tongs, until wilted and tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in 2 teaspoons lemon juice, then add rice and stir until just combined. Season with salt and pepper, then add up to 1 tablespoon lemon juice (to taste).
