Directions

  1. Add the spinach, cilantro, onion, serrano, and garlic to a food processor blender and blend until everything is finely chopped and a paste is formed.

  2. Heat the oil in a medium size saucepan over medium heat. Add the rice and cook, while continuously stirring, until rice is lightly toasted, about 4 minutes.

  3. Stir the green paste from the blender in with the rice and cook for 30 seconds while stirring.

  6. Turn off the heat, KEEP THE LID ON, and let sit for 15 more minutes.

  7. Remove the lid and fluff rice with a fork. Season with salt & pepper if needed.
