It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).


2 1/2 cups vegetable stock
1 cup short-grain brown rice
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 medium Granny Smith apple, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup sliced scallions
1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
3/4 cup dried cranberries
3 tablespoons chopped fresh italian parsley
Heat stock in saucepan over medium heat until boiling. Stir in rice, and bring to second boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, drizzle lemon juice over diced apple, and set aside.
Heat oil in medium-sized saucepan over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add garlic, scallions and celery, and saute for 3 minutes. Add cooked rice, diced apple, cranberries and parsley. Mix thoroughly, reduce heat to low and cook 8 minutes.
