Coconut Spinach Rice

Coconut spinach rice pilaf, an amazing green rice recipe or “ arroz verde” with lots of baby spinach and coconut milk.

A one-pot wonder filled with fiber and nutrition, vegan and gluten-free.

I added a stalk of lemon grass just because I have some growing in a container and it sure elevates the flavors to a whole new level.
