directions

1. Place the brown rice, vegetable broth and herbs together in a pan. Cook 45 minutes as one would cook brown rice normally.
2. About 7 minutes before the rice is finished cooking, lightly sauté the broccoli by itself with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil. Set aside in a covered bowl.
3. Next, sauté the onion on its own with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add it to the broccoli in the bowl.
4. With the remaining olive oil lightly wilt/sauté the spinach in a pan.
5. Take approximately 1 cup of the cooked rice and place it in the middle of a plate. Lay the desired amount of spinach on top of that, followed by the broccoli and onion.
6. Serve while vegetables are still warm.
