Brown Rice with White Beans and Spinach Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 c. diced onion
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 1/2 c. long-grain brown rice
- 3 3/4 c. chicken broth (low-sodium)
- 4 c. packed trimmed and torn spinach leaves
- 1/4 c. grated Parmesan/Romano cheese
- 2 tbsp. pine nuts, toasted in a dry pan
- 1-2 tbsp. slivered sun-dried tomatoes in oil, rinsed and patted dry
- 2 (16-19 oz. each) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
Directions
- Heat the oil over medium-low heat in a large heavy saucepan. Add onion and garlic and saute, stirring often until golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in rice and stir constantly, about 3 minutes.
- Stir in the broth and bring to a simmer. Cook, tightly covered, until the rice is tender, about 45 minutes. Add the beans, spinach and grated cheese, folding together just until blended. The mixture should be creamy. Cover and cook over medium-low heat until the spinach is just wilted but still bright green, about 3 minutes.
- Serve at once, sprinkled with pine nuts and sun-dried tomatoes.

I thought this was quite tasty. My kids didn't love it. I would serve this with family and friends, but probably not for a dinner party. It is a hearty, healthy, and comforting dish. The flavors are mild and pleasing.I've cooked/tasted this recipe!1 person likes this review
