Preparation

Step 1

In a blender, combine the spinach, cilantro, GARLIC and chili pepper. Blend until smooth. Set aside.

In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the 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 the heat and simmer, covered, until the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Add the cut spinach before serving.
