Something I came up with to use my fresh spinach and mushrooms I had on hand. I made it for two, but you can double or triple it to suit your needs. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups water and 3/4 cups rice - salted/cooked accordingly |
1 tbls. butter/1tbls. olive oil |
2 tbls. chopped green onions (i had three) |
1 tsp. minced garlic |
1 cup chopped mushrooms (approximately) |
1 cup torn fresh spinach (approximately) |
1 tsp dried basil (even better with fresh basil, if you have it) |
1 cup shredded mozzarella (or any other cheese) |
Directions:
1. Cook rice (or leftover rice works great)
2. Meanwhile add butter and/or olive oil to pan over med - med/low heat
3. Saute onion, garlic
4. Add mushrooms and let cook down without stirring (about 5 mins. or so)
5. Add spinach and stir till cooked down
6. Add basil, salt and pepper to taste
7. Add cooked rice and 1/2 cup of cheese to spinach/mushroom mixture and combine
8. Put in small casserole and top with remaining cheese
