Begin by rinsing the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.

2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.

3

Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1 minute, just until fragrant.

4

Stir in the rinsed rice, allowing it to toast slightly for about 2-3 minutes, stirring often.

5

Pour in the vegetable broth, and season with salt, pepper, and cumin. Bring to a gentle boil.

6

Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.

7

While the rice is cooking, wash the spinach and chop it coarsely.

8

Once the rice is done, stir in the spinach and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until wilted.

9

Remove from heat and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top before serving for a zesty touch.
