Como fazer Spinach And Lemon Rice Pilaf

In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth to a boil. Add 1 cup of long-grain rice, stir, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.
While the rice simmers, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 cup of chopped fresh spinach, 1/2 cup of shredded carrots, and 1/4 cup of thinly sliced green onions. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted and the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Once the rice is cooked, stir in the sautéed vegetables, 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt (or to taste). Fluff the rice gently with a fork to separate the grains.
Garnish with extra lemon zest and fresh herbs (optional) and serve immediately as a delightful accompaniment to your favorite protein.
