Step 1

In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Saute the onion until tender, then stir in the water, parsley, salt and pepper. Editor's Tip: If you're using fresh parsley, wait to add it until the end.

Step 2

Bring the mixture to a boil and stir in the rice. Fold in the spinach, then cover the pan and remove from the heat.

Step 3

Let the rice rest for 7 to 10 minutes so the steam has a chance to wilt the spinach and fluff up the rice. Uncover, stir to combine and serve.
