Leafy Brown Rice
"This dish was part of a meal I cooked at a dinner party for 2 of my best mates, James, and Justin, just before they went off to tour Europe for a while in typical student stylie. We had it with balsamic roast veg and Moroccan style bread."
You need - for 4 as an accompaniment
500g brown rice
A few good handfuls of spinach
The same amount of herbs, your choice. - we had corriander, basil (green and purple), and flat leaf parsley.
Salt and pepper
50g butter
1/2 tsp cumin
Cook the rice according to the instructions on the packet. 1 or 2 minutes before it is due to be done, put your spinach into the same pan. Drain the rice and spinach combo, and return to the pan. Roughly chop all your herbs and throw them in along with the butter and cumin. Season to your own taste. Mix thoroughly.
If you are not going to serve this immediately, drizzle over some olive oil before you do so to freshen it up.
This dish is proof that it's worth keeping things simple. Also leave out the butter and it's one of the healthiest dishes I know.
