Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 This sounds delicious! I am new at this vegetarian life style and was wondering, will this serve as a main dish? Thanks for the info. in Northern Illinois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2007 Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Not a big deal but considering I'm on total bed rest (YUK) and still need help with self care (I have graduated to brushing my own teeth, lol), this is a big deal to me. Spinach and Mushroom Rice in the Crock Pot 1, 10 ounce box frozen, chopped spinach, defrosted 1 pound sliced mushrooms 1 medium onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, mashed or chopped 1 cup brown rice, uncooked 2 cups vegetable broth 2 tablespoons olive oil Salt/pepper as wanted Toss onion, garlic clove into food processor. Push button to chop. Saute onion, garlic and mushrooms in oil. (Or program husband person to do this step.) Mix spinach, sauteed veggies, rice and broth together. Dump into crock pot. (Could do in the oven I suppose) Cook till rice is soft (4 hours-ish) Yay. I cooked. Heading back to bed. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz love to all, Jeanne in GA Cost: frozen chopped spinach .89 cents Brown rice .25 cents (I buy 25 pounds for about 8 bucks) Mushrooms: 1.89 (pricey but I did get a buy one get one free deal, so it came down to about .98 cents) Veggie broth .50 cents max. I make broth and freeze Onion .25 cents max Garlic clove .10 cents max olive oil...negligible total 2.47 to 3.47 ish We won't eat all of this, so will toss maybe a serving worth into the freezer for a lunch for one for later.
