Ingredients
1 cup brown rice (192 grams)2 1/4 cups water20 g Extra Virgin Olive Oil100 g spinach50 g Red Bell Pepper40 g Onion4 oz Feta Cheese
Combine water and rice and bring to a boil. Then lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes or until all water has been absorbed.
While the rice is cooking, prep the rest of your ingredients. Dice the onions, chop up the red pepper, and chop up the spinach. In a separate, small pot, pour in about half of the olive oil and then add the onions, red pepper, and spinach, heating it on medium-low until spinach reduces and the onions begin to turn soft. Set it aside until the rice is done.
Once the rice has absorbed all water, fluff it with a fork. Pour spinach, red peppers, onion, all olive oil, and the feta into the rice and mix it together until the feta is melty.
Enjoy! This was healthy-ish comfort food for me on a bad day. ;) I had two servings of it as an entire meal but it could be used as a side dish easily. :)
