Effervescent Cooking ~ Mystery stir fry

This is a modification of an idea sent from my wonderful Mom.

The protein of the day was supposed to be fish or shrimp, but we got busy and I didn't thaw any out. Plus, Mom had sent me this interesting idea involving spinach and bacon. Hmmm...

The oil of the day was safflower. My veggies of the day included beans, peas, and spinach. A nut of the day was pistachio. The grain of the day was rice. Hmmm...

So I cooked the spinach* in the safflower oil, added some basmati rice, some sugar snap peas, and called it done. Tasted it. Pretty good. Added pistachios. Nice. Decided it was good enough after one serving to cook up the whole thing again. This time I added the nuts when the rest of it was cooking on the stove.

Ahhh...very, very good.

*I'm trying to remember if I added any seasoning to the spinach as it was cooking and I can't remember for sure. I'm trying to avoid using salt and pepper all the time. However, there's a chance I added a tiny bit of sea salt and white pepper. I'll make it again and experiment because it sure was good. The pistachios added their own salty flavor, so I may not have used anything else.
