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).

Add a little kick to your brown rice with a few simple extra ingredients.
1 can (12 ounce size) chopped tomatoes, keep the juice
1 cup uncooked brown rice
1 cup corn
1 1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 package taco seasoning mix
2 teaspoons fruit sugar
1 onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Add the water to a large pot and bring to a boil. Add all the ingredients, except the corn. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook until water has been absorbed into rice. Stir in the corn.
Average cooking time is 60 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes and fluff with fork.

Made this today! I omitted the sugar & corn for dietary reasons, but it still came out delish! Definitely will be making this again. I love brown rice and this was tasty :-)

I used my own homemade seasoning blend instead of the packaged taco seasoning. The cooking time was perfect for the rice I used (follow the cooking time on the package for best results). It was really tasty and had a nice texture.
