Easy One Pot Creamy Spinach Rice Food

EASY ONE-POT CREAMY SPINACH RICE

Steps:

• Begin by heating a heavy-bottom pot such as a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the butter and diced onion and saute until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
• Add the uncooked U.S.-grown medium grain rice and lightly toast. Then add 3 cups of the low-sodium stock, reserving 1 cup. Add the heavy cream and Boursin cheese, stirring to fully combine. Bring to a low simmer and reduce the heat to avoid scorching.
• Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes or until the rice thickens, stirring occasionally.
• After 10 minutes, add the MSG and black pepper, then add the roughly chopped spinach and remaining cup of stock. Carefully stir or fold in to combine, then cover and continue cooking 5 to 7 more minutes.
• Once the rice is fully cooked and all liquid is absorbed, stir in 3/4 cup of the parmesan cheese. Stir to combine, then sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup over the top. Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly, and serve hot.
