Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until they turn translucent and fragrant.

  3. Add the ground cumin, coriander, paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring well to combine the spices with the vegetables.

  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

  5. Stir in the white rice, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the rice cook until it is almost tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  7. Cover the pot again and let the spinach wilt down and cook with the rice for an additional 5-10 minutes.

  8. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, adding more salt and pepper if desired.
