What a way to get my husband to eat his spinach, he didn't even question the green stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Good way to sneak spinach past the kidos lips! I used chicken broth and green onion but that was the only change i made. This would be more tradional and better if the rice were fried in the oil til browned, add rest of the dry inged for a few minutes, then the liquid, cover tightly, lower heat and simmer for 15 min. I would have given more stars but the directions are confusing. Add rice x2 and the cooking time is over 30 min??? My rice was done before I got to the 'add spinach' step.... Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Rice lover take a look at this one. I used 6 cups spinach and an ancho sundried pepper in place of the poplano. Lots of flavor! I did have to cook it for 5 more minute then called for.
