Quick rice with spinach makes an amazing side. Quick brown rice takes 90 seconds in the microwave. Always better to have long grain rice, but in a pinch this recipes is great. When you make the extra effort of adding a few vegetables, lemon and wine,wow, now it becomes interesting. The added lemon and wine infuses a freshness and pop of flavor. If you don’t want to use wine replace the liquid with vegetable broth, still awesome.
Quick rice is super family friendly. When you run in the house and everyone is hungry, grab some leftovers. Add leftover vegetables, beans, meat alternatives, and two bags of rice, if you need it, you now have a one pan complete meal. Pair this recipe with a side of fresh cut vegetables and or fruit, your done. Yum.
