Spanakorizo. Greek spinach rice

Another meal with spinach, it is just so nourishing! This dish represents spring for me and I love to eat it outside when the weather lets me. A Greek dish that is traditionally eaten as a main,  but it could work as a side dish as well. The recipe itself is vegan but I usually serve grilled lamb sausages and a nice salad on the side.  Deliciously topped with fresh lemon slices.

Serves: 4
Preparation time: 45 min

You need:

Olive oil
2 onions
1kg fresh spinach (washed)
225ml passata (tomato purée)
500ml water
handfull fresh dill

100g uncooked rice
handfull of roasted pine seeds
fresh lemons

1. chop the unions and saute them in the olive oil  until it is see-through.
2. add the spinach and stir fry it for a few minutes.
3. add the water and passata.
4. heat till boiling point and add the herbs.
5. add the rice and let it slowly cook for 25 minutes in an open pan.
6. when dishing up, add the pine seeds and lemon.
