Perfect side-dish rice

So good I usually end up eating right from the pot!

This rice is a great, easy accompaniment to so many things. Here is it pictured with a butternut squash and chickpea Moroccan stew. It also goes really well with lentil dishes and curries. I sometimes add tomatoes and pesto sauce and eat it like pasta!

Ingredients:

1 tbsp vegan butter

2 vegan bouillon cubes

900 ml (3 3/4 cups) boiling water

300 g (1.5 cup) arborio rice

115 g (about 4 handfuls) baby spinach

Method:

1. Melt butter on medium high heat in a medium pot

2. Dissolve bouillon cubes in melted butter then add boiling water

3. Add rice and bring to a boil uncovered. Reduce heat to simmer and cook covered until rice is tender but al dente (about 20 minutes)

4. Remove from heat and stir in spinach to wilt. Serve hot
