Once the rice is added I think that it should be cooked in Reverse + speed soft (spoon) ?  Like risottos.

I made this yesterday as I found some Swiss chard in a local market.   I definitely would tweak it if I did it again:

1.  It needs some stock rather than just water as it is very bland.   I also think it needs more than 1 tsp paprika (pimenton)

2.  I think the vegetables don't need to cook for 20 minutes - so I would cook them for less (and use less water to compensate)

3.  The amount of water means that it is quite soupy at the end - no bad thing but it really needs to be served on its own rather than as a side dish

4.  I did use  :-: as Thermomixer suggested - the beans (tinned haricot beans) still disappeared into a mush, but did contribute to the taste

From memory Katya - this was from a Spanish site and somebody has translated it.  It is soupy.

You will find lots of recipes in Spanish - try Googling Arroz con acelgas
