Spinach with rice

The main ingredient of this dish is spinach, Popeye's favourite! It is the source of Popeye's power. Spinach is a green leafy vegetable, rich in calcium, iron, natural fibres and vitamins of B and K complex. Combined with rice, it is a traditional vegetable casserole ideal for a child after its first year, when it is gradually introduced to the meals of the rest of the family.
