I really enjoy the simplicity of this dish.

Ingredients

• 1 Bag baby spinach
• 2 cups basmati rice
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp ground turmeric
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 1-2 tsp salt
• 1 red onion finely sliced
• 2 Red chillies finely chopped
• 2 Tomatoes finely chopped
• 31/2 cups chicken stock
• 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts

Method

Wash rice several times until water runs clear, then drain. Heat oil in a deep saucepan.  Add onions and cook for 6 minutes or until golden brown and slight caramelised. Add chillies, cumin and turmeric and cook for a further minute.  Add rice and stir for another minute.  Add tomatoes, spinach, and butter,season to taste.  Add stock, give it a stir and bring to boil.  Reduce heat to lowest setting, cover and cook for 20 mins or until rice is cooked. Garnish with toasted pine nuts. I served this with a cucumber raita.
