Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon with salt (25 g)
• 400 grams of white rice 
• 3.6 dl with water.
• 6 leaves of fresh spinach (25 g)
• 1 tablespoon of garlic powder (25 g).
• 4 bouillon cubes (35 g)
• 3 tablespoons of ground coriander (75 g).
• 1 tablespoon of ground pepper (25 g)
• 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (50 ml).

Preparation

• Before you start with this recipe, you should  put the white rice in a pot of hot water the day before.  Leave the rice in water for at least 12 hours before you start. This will puff up the rice.
• Once you have completed the first step, start cooking the vegetable broth. This is the key to good taste.
• To do this, you need to use all the vegetables. Cut them up and put them in the pot with the water.
• Then, start seasoning to add flavor to your dish.
• Use the salt, pepper, spinach, garlic powder and start stirring. Make sure you taste it so you know if you need more salt or garlic.
• At the same time, in a frying pan, pour a dab of olive oil over medium heat and add the rice. The goal is to  change the color a little, not to burn it. Be careful!

• Pour the broth mixture into a blender and mix it for about one minute.
• Then pour the broth into a saucepan with the rice and let it cook for about  15 to 20 minutes. Cover well.
• It is important that you do not open the pan too much, so everything cooks well.  To check if it is cooked, use a knife and insert it into the rice. If it is wet when you remove it, it means that it needs more time.
• When ready, let it rest for five minutes and finally serve with other dishes. Enjoy your delicious meal!
