Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup white or brown rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 cups baby spinach leaves
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 6 ounces lean protein of choice (grilled chicken, tofu, or shrimp)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 18-20 minutes (brown rice may require additional time). Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Add the baby spinach leaves and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove the spinach and set aside.
Using the same skillet, lightly sear the cherry tomatoes for 2-3 minutes until they just begin to soften. Remove and set aside.
Cook your lean protein of choice (grilled chicken, tofu, or shrimp) in the skillet according to your preference, ensuring it’s thoroughly cooked.
To assemble, divide the cooked rice evenly between two bowls. Top each bowl with sautéed spinach, seared cherry tomatoes, and lean protein.
Drizzle lemon juice over each bowl, and season with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve immediately or pack into meal prep containers for later. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious rice-based meal!
