Ingredients

1 cup uncooked white rice
2 cups water
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 bell pepper, diced
1 zucchini, diced
1 carrot, peeled and grated
1 cup broccoli florets
1 cup baby spinach
to taste salt and pepper
for garnish fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro)

Equipment

Method

Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and let it simmer for about 18 minutes, or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
Fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
Add the bell pepper, zucchini, and grated carrot, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, until they start to soften.
Toss in the broccoli florets and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until bright green.
Stir in the baby spinach until wilted.
Mix in the cooked rice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with fresh herbs and serve hot.
