Ingredients
- 200 g rice
- 400 ml water
- 300 g fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 lemon, juiced and zested
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Steps
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the rice and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing it to absorb some of the oil and flavors.
Add the water, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes or until the rice is tender.
Once the rice is cooked, gently fold in the chopped spinach, dill, lemon juice, and zest. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and everything is heated through.
Serve warm, drizzled with a little more olive oil and a lemon wedge on the side for extra freshness.
Why this works
Spanakorizo is a quintessential one-pot dish that combines the earthy flavors of spinach and the nutty characteristics of rice, creating a harmonious blend. The cooking process allows the rice to absorb the flavors of the onion and garlic while the spinach adds a vibrant color and texture. The addition of dill and lemon provides a refreshing contrast, enhancing the overall taste profile. If the rice seems too dry during cooking, add a bit more water, a few tablespoons at a time, to ensure it cooks evenly without burning. This technique helps to achieve a perfectly moist, flavorful dish while minimizing cleanup, making it ideal for busy days or Lenten meals.
