How to Prepare Spinach Rice [Vegan]

Place a tablespoon of water in a skillet over medium-high heat and add the spinach to just wilt. Remove the spinach from the heat, squeeze out the bitter liquid, and set the spinach aside.
Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed, lidded pot over medium heat and add the minced onion and garlic. Cook until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes.
Add the rice, lemon zest and juice, salt, pepper, paprika, and nutmeg. Stir to combine.
Add the vegetable stock and spinach. Simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.
Serve immediately or allow to cool and then store in the fridge until ready to reheat.
