 Categories: Digest, Mar95, Fatfree
      Yield: 2 Servings
 
      1    Box Near East Curry Rice

           Drained)
 
  I might have posted this before, but one of my favorite brain-dead
  foods (outside of spaghetti), is to take one box of Near-East Curry
  Rice and cook according to directions, without the added fat.  While
  that is cooking, microwave 1 frozen block of spinach (for some reason
  fresh spinach doesn't taste as good to me in this recipe -- and takes
  longer unless already de-stemmed and washed).  When that is done,
  drain and set aside. Nuke 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed,
  and 1 can of diced tomatoes (minus some of the juice), mixed together
  (generally for about 3 minutes).
  
  When rice is done, mix spinach, rice, beans and tomatoes (generally
  in a large bowl).  Snarf.   Not only does it taste good, but it's
  really colorful with the yellow rice, black beans, red tomatoes and
  green spinach. Very satisfying.  Even my almost-3-yr-old loves it.
  
  Approximate total time: 25-30 minutes (time to cook rice)
