Curried Rice with Greens

I'm a big fan of one pot cooking, which means, not that I'm lazy, but that I like washing up as much as anyone else. Also it's wet today and I needed gloves today for the first time. Something hot and tasty is in order. Something simple is in order for a Monday night.
I finely chop and soften an onion and a clove of garlic before adding a tablespoon of curry powder, turning up the heat and stirring for a couple of minutes. Next I add a moderately overflowing handful of rice and add stock while stirring, followed by bringing it to the boil and simmering. At the same time I chop a handful of spring greens which I throw in a sieve and steam it above the rice. I put a lid on the whole lot.
I cook by sound here. When the pip pip pip of simmering stock gives way to the gentle continuous sizzle of flicked water on hot surface, some 10 minutes or so, I turn the heat off and let it steam for 3 minutes. I turn the rice out and stir through the cooked greens and a handful of pine nuts before scoffing from a bowl in front of the telly. Curried Rice with Greens.
