Dad's Creamy Spinach Rice
So today’s recipe is special from my dad 🤗✨ I don’t have a name for this rice that he cooks so I’ll just describe it, it’s basically a creamy rice with spinach and bell pepper — it has other things in it too but those are the flavors that really come through! I hope you enjoy the video and try cooking this yourself at home! It only cost me about 15 dollars to make, so not too expensive, and about 30-45min to cook! If you want to give this one a go I have the recipe detailed out (written by my dad) below!😋

Ingredients:
1 bag of Spinach
2 cups of Chicken broth
8 oz of Heavy Whipping Cream
2 cups of rice
1 bunch of cilantros
1 bunch of green onions
2 large Red Bell Peppers
1 stick of butter
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
2 tablespoons of avocado oil or olive oil
1 teaspoon of salt
2 teaspoons of black peppers
Pinch of dried basil
Handheld blender
Add the avocado/olive oil to a small pot and heat up
Add the minced garlic
Add ½ cup of chopped Cilantro
Add chopped green onions
Add chopped Red Bell Pepper
Add Salt, pepper, and Basil
After heating them up and stirring them up add:
Chicken broth let it simmer for 30 minutes
After it simmers add 8 oz of Heavy whipping cream
Use a handheld blender and blend all ingredients
Add 2 cups of white rice
4 cups of water
Half a stick of butter
Salt
Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes.
As the rice comes close to being ready add the bag of spinach and 1/2 butter to the top of the rice. When the spinach looks steamed, turn off. Then add the whipped sauce that is now a reddish orange color to the rice and spinach. Allow to sit for 5 minutes and serve.
Enjoy!
