Cooking Steps

• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat the plant-based butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook half the garlic, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add basmati rice, the water and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until the water is absorbed, 10 minutes. • Once the water has absorbed, stir through baby spinach leaves, until wilted.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!
