Preparation

Step 1

In a blender, combine spinach, cilantro, garlic and chili pepper. Blend until smooth and set aside.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add rice and cook, stirring constantly until lightly golden, about 5 minutes. Add the vegetable mix, water, salt, and corn and bring to a boil. Cook for 5 minutes. Lower heat to a simmer, covered, until the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Add the cut spinach before serving.
