Spinach & Cheese Rice

Ingredients:

1 bunch spinach, puréed
6 portobello mushrooms, finely chopped ( can use porcini or button mushrooms)
1/4 yellow, green, red capsicum sliced
1 medium sized onion, finely chopped
1 cup rice
2 tablespoons green peas
6 beans chopped
2 tablespoons carrots finely chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon oil
1 teaspoon oregano
Salt
Black pepper
1/4 cup grated mozzarella cheese

Heat oil in a pan and add the butter. Sauté vegetables until slightly cooked add rice and water to cook ( slightly less water than you would normally use). Add to this salt, pepper, oregano.

When about 80% cooked add the spinach purée and cook. When done add the mozzarella cheese and cook until the cheese has melted.

Serve hot.

P.S: this dish should be served as soon as it is prepared. Reheating makes the cheese taste strange.
