This is a beautiful side dish when hot, but is also delicious served cold - just cool the rice before adding the spinach and parmesan.
Ingredients
2 cups (400g) basmati rice
3 1/4 cups water
1 large onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
black pepper 1/2 teaspoon
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon zest
300g spinach, finely chopped
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
In a large saucepan, gently fry the onion in the oil for 5 minutes, until golden.
Add the black pepper, salt and lemon rind to the saucepan, along with the rice and water. Bring it to the boil, then lower the heat and cover with a lid. Simmer on a very low heat for 10-15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
Add the spinach and parmesan cheese and mix well. Leave it for 5 minutes, then transfer to a serving dish.
