GREEK: Classic Greek Spinach

I originally got this recipe from http://www.allrecipes.com/. However, I have modified it to suit my taste.

¼ to ½ cup olive oil
2 onions, chopped
1 (10 oz) package frozen spinach, thawed and drained
2 large tomatoes, coarsely chopped
2 ½ cups water
1 clove garlic, minced
1 TBSP tomato paste
1 TBSP Bill’s Best Beaf Seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
½ cup uncooked long-grain brown rice

Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the onions and cook until they are tender. Then mix in the spinach and tomatoes. Let the vegetables simmer about 5 minutes.

Pour 2 cups of the water into the saucepan and bring to a boil. Mix in the garlic, tomato paste, Beaf seasoning, salt, and pepper. Reduce the heat and cook at a low boil for about 15 minutes, until the water is reduced by half.

Stir the rice and the remaining ½ cup of water into the spinach mixture. Return to a boil, reduce head, and simmer covered until the rice is tender and fluffy.
