Green Rice

Submitted by Kaarin

"This is a versatile side-it's mild and goes well with many main dishes. I use one package of frozen spinach, thawed under warm water and squeezed dry. I've also used swiss chard in this, just be sure to chop very finely or even puree the greens."

A nice, easy side for a spicy fish dish. I cut the recipe in half and used a 1 qt. dish. I would saute the onion next time first, because it didn't get quite done enough for us. We like onion not as crunchy. Made for My 3 Chefs game.
