Cooking Instructions
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil, and heat until it shimmers, about 1–2 minutes.
  2. Add chopped onion, stirring for 3–4 minutes until translucent, then mix in minced garlic for 30 seconds.
  3. Add sliced mushrooms, stirring occasionally for 5–6 minutes until softened and browned.
  4. Stir in uncooked rice, ensuring it is coated in oil, toasting for about 2 minutes until translucent at the edges.
  5. Pour in vegetable broth, season with salt and pepper, then raise heat to bring to a gentle boil.
  6. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let cook for 18–20 minutes until liquid is absorbed and grains are tender.
  7. Uncover, add fresh spinach, fold in until wilted in 1–2 minutes, then fluff rice with a fork to serve.
