Thai Spinach with Brown Rice


Easy Main Dish for Three 

Thai spinach with wild brown rice and fresh arugula salad.


Ingredients:
  • 1 pound frozen spinach
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 1 green bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup of soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon of ginger
  • 2 tablespoons of peanut butter
  • salt and pepper to taste
Saute the onion and garlic in the oil until the onion gets soft. Add the pepper and continue to cook. Next, add the frozen spinach and cover the dish for 8 minutes or so on medium heat. Once the spinach combination has defrosted, stir the dish again, and add the soy sauce, ginger, peanut butter, salt, and pepper. 

  • prewashed arugula mix
  • natural cheese
  • avocado
  • broccoli
  • For the homemade dressing:
    • 1/3 cup of olive oil
    • 1/4 cup of mustard
    • 1 tablespoon of honey
    • 1/4 cup of red wine vinegar
    • dash of salt
Whisk all of the dressing ingredients and drizzle over the salad.


Wild Rice
  • 1 cup of wild brown rice
  • 2 1/2 cups of boiling water
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
Boil the water (either in a kettle or over the stove) and once boiling, add the rice. Bring the water back to a boil and cover and lower the heat to medium low. Simmer for 35 minutes.

Voila! Easy!
