Spinach and Rice

It’s a very simple meal to prepare, and it pleases all the family. I remember when my son was about 5 years old, he used to hate the spinach and refused to eat it. I was determined to make him eat it, knowing the benefits of the spinach, so I used to show him the “POPEYE” cartoon. Before you knew it, my son wanted to take the spinach directly from the can too!

Ingredients:

• 500 gs of chopped frozen spinach
• 200 gs of mined beef
• 1 onion chopped finely
• 1 tablespoon of all purpose flour
• salt and seven spices
• juice of lemon if desired
• cooking oil, about 3 tablespoons

Preparation:

• Heat the cooking oil in a casserole and fry the onion, when it becomes light brown add the meat and fry it until its well cooked
• Add some salt and seven spices, then add the spinach followed by one cup of water and let it cook on low heat and cover the pot
• Mix flour with a half cup of water and add it to the pot as soon it starts boiling and cover the pot again
• Let the spinach simmer on a very low heat, stirring occasionally
• Adjust the seasoning, and add the lemon juice if you like
• Serve it with white rice

ET VOILA… C’EST TOUT
