Ingredients
  

  • 1 kg frozen spinach cubes the spinach in these frozen cubes is already chopped, which makes it perfect for spinach purée. As I said above, you can use fresh spinach too, I used frozen because it’s winter.
  • 2 onions chopped
  • ½ cup rice
  • 2 Tbsps whole wheat flour – dissolved in 2-3 Tbsps warm water
  • 4 garlic cloves mashed
  • 2 Tbsps olive oil
  • sea salt and ground pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Add olive oil in a large pan. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3 minutes.
  • Add frozen spinach cubes and cover with a lid. It doesn’t need any water because the ice will melt.
  • When the spinach cubes are melted, add rice. If needed add a little bit more water – max. 1/2 cup. Cook for 20 minutes.
  • Add mashed garlic cloves, salt and pepper to taste. Add flour dissolved in water. Cook for 10 more minutes. If there is excess liquid add more flour (1-2 Tbsps).
  • Serve as it is or along with a sunny side up fried egg.
