Put the spinach, onion, garlic, coriander (including the stalks), jalapeño pepper, lime juice and 140ml of the vegetable stock in a food processor and blend together until thoroughly combined into a sauce.
Heat a pot on medium heat with some olive oil. Sauté the uncooked basmati rice for ±5 minutes, then add the green sauce and stir it for a couple of minutes.
