Make It

Step 1

Rinse rice and soak for 15 minutes. Drain.

Place spinach, cilantro and bouillon mixture in a blender; cover. Blend until smooth. Add evaporated milk; pulse until well combined.

Step 4

Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat until butter is melted. Stir in rice; cook, stirring frequently, for 4 minutes. Add onion and garlic; cook for 1 minute. Add spinach/cilantro mixture; increase heat to medium. Stir well and bring to a boil. Cover; reduce heat to low. Cook for 20 minutes.
