Ingredients

  • 1 cup uncooked brown rice
  • 2 cups vegetable broth or water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the brown rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

  2. 2

    In a medium pot, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of vegetable broth or water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

  4. 4

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork and add it to the skillet with the sautéed spinach. Mix in the garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.

  6. 6

    Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the crumbled feta cheese. Drizzle with lemon juice if using, and toss gently to combine.

  7. 7

    Serve warm in bowls, and enjoy your delicious spinach and feta rice bowl.
