How to cook deliciously - Rice with Spinach and Pistachios

1. Stage

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups water to a boil. Stir in rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cover and cook over very low heat until rice has absorbed water and is tender but firm, 14 to 15 minutes. Keep rice covered.

2. Stage

Meanwhile, in a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add garlic and cook over medium heat until golden, about 1 minute. Remove garlic with a slotted spoon and discard. Increase heat to high and add spinach in 3 batches, stirring and adding each batch as the previous one starts to wilt. Cook until tender, about 3 minutes total. Remove pot from heat and stir in lemon zest, dill, and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Stir in rice, fluffing it up. Stir in pistachios and red pepper flakes, season with salt and black pepper to taste, and serve. Looking for more quick and easy recipes?
