1
Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.
2
In a large non-stick pan, melt the butter over medium heat and add the diced onion. Cook until onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
3
Add the rice to the pan with onion, stir and cook for about 2 minutes.
4
Pour the pear juice into the pan, gently stir, and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all the juice and is tender.
5
While the rice cooks, toast the chopped pecans in a separate pan on medium heat. Stir frequently until pecans are slightly browned (around 5 minutes). Set aside.
6
Once the rice is done, add chopped pear, toasted pecans, and dried cranberries. Sprinkle with cinnamon, nutmeg, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Gently mix to combine.
7
Remove the pan from heat, then add the fresh spinach leaves, gently folding them into the warm rice until they are wilted. Serve immediately, while hot.
