SAVORY GREEN RICE WITH FONTINA CHEESE


this is probably my new favorite rice dish ever! it's soooooo good!! :) oh, and by the way...the "meat" i served with it was gardein's beefless tips. I'd never tried them before...they weren't too bad....they were even better with A1!! (in case you don't know....i am obsessed with A1)

ok, here we go:

salt and pepper
1 1/2 c. rice
2 c. vegetable broth
juice of 1 lemon
1 c. spinach
1 c. parsley
few grates of fresh nutmeg (or just use the powder...not a big deal)
1 roma tomato, finely diced
1/3 lb. fontina cheese, cut into small cubes
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil

in a large saucepan, bring the rice, salt, stock, and 2/3 c. water to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 18 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Meanwhile, in a food processor, combine the lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, spinach, and parsley and process. Set aside.

Fluff rice with a fork and then stir in the spinach mixture, diced tomatoes,cheese, and nutmeg. Stir together well to blend in the cheese.

serve immediately.
