Cooking Steps
- Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.

- Cover and cook until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 12-14 min. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Carefully poke tomatoes with a fork or with the tip of a knife.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until burst, 3-4 min.
- Transfer tomatoes to a medium bowl. Drizzle half the balsamic glaze (use all for 4 ppl) over top. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Set aside.
- Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then beef and onions.
- Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.**
- Carefully remove and discard excess fat. Season beef with salt and pepper.

- Fluff rice with a fork. Add spinach and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter. Season with salt, then stir to combine.
- Divide rice between bowls, then top with beef and blistered tomatoes.
- Sprinkle Parmesan over top.
If you've opted to get beef, cook beef in the same way the recipe instructs you to cook the turkey.** Remove and discard excess fat before adding pesto and garlic puree.
