1/4 cup olive oil
Heat olive oil in 12" diameter skillet (or large pot). Add onion; sauté until tender. Add rice; sauté for about 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add tomato sauce, water, and bouillon cubes; bring to a boil. Reduce flame until mixture is simmering, pour spinach over rice, cover pot, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed (20 to 30 minutes).
Gently stir spinach into rice. Let stand (covered) for 15 minutes. Sprinkle lemon juice over top. Serve hot.
