Spinach, mushroom and lemon pilaf (CleanCuisine)

This is very easy and has a really clean zesty flavor.
It comes from the BBC Good Food website, always a great resource!

1/2 lb spinach, washed and roughly chopped
1 lemon, zested and juiced (you may not need to use the whole lemon in the recipe)
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tbsp butter
8oz basmati rice
4oz chestnut mushrooms, sliced
2 onions, finely sliced
14 fl oz chicken or vegetable broth
1 cinnamon stick
4 whole cloves
4 bruised green cardamon pods

Method

Cook the onion and garlic in the butter in a large shallow pan until soft and golden.
Add the mushrooms and cook until softened.
Add the spices and cook, stirring for 2 minutes, then stir in the rice, lemon zest and stock. Cover.
Cook on a gentle heat for about 15 minutes until the liquid has been absorbed.
Stir through the spinach and lemon juice, cover for 2 minutes until wilted and serve.
