I made this last night. Was looking for a use for spinach I had in the fridge . I followed the recipe but used fresh ( 1 large clove) garlic. It was fantastic!!! Thanks so much for this recipe.

This was very goo. .  I picked some old spinach and that means it is tougher than I would normally use in a salad,. I looked for creative ways to use it in a cooked dish.  This was delicious.  I used already cooked rice, so it was fast to make. Thanks.

Great use of leftover basmati rice! Fresh and tasty side for our crusted fish dinner. And so easy - definitely putting in regular rotation.
