Steps:
- Rinse the rice well a few times until the water runs clear. Put the rice in a bowl and add water to cover it by 1 inch. Let is sit to soak for 20 minutes or until you are easily able to break one grain of rice between your fingers.
- Heat ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil in a braising pan. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until soft and golden brown. Add the spinach, lemon juice, garlic, tomato paste, and a big pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Sautee the spinach until just wilted. Stir in the mint and dill weed.
- Drain the rice well and add it to the pan. Add 1 ½ cups of warm water. Bring to a boil for 3 minutes until the water reduces a bit. Turn the heat to low and cover.
- Let the rice cook undisturbed for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and fully cooked through and all the liquid has been absorbed.
- Once cooked, let the rice sit covered for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
- When ready, fluff the rice with a fork and garnish for feta and parsley, if you like.

Steps:
- To prepare this spanakorizo recipe (Greek spinach and rice), heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions, spring onions and leek and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until translucent.
- Add the spinach and cook stirring for a few minutes, until wilted. Stir in the tomatoes, the tomato paste, two cups of hot water, the vegetable stock, the rice and season. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 20-25 minutes, until the rice is tender.
- While the Spanakorizo is simmering away, stir it every so often and check if the pan appears to be getting dry. If it is, add some more hot water and stir.
- To know when its ready, take a grain of rice out of the skillet and pinch it with your fingernails. If its white on the inside it needs a little bit longer. When it's close to ready, season with salt and pepper to taste. Finally, finish the spanakorizo with fresh chopped dill and cook for a a couple more minutes.
- Serve this traditional Greek spinach and rice (spanakorizo) with a squeeze of a lemon and top with crumbled feta. Enjoy!

SPANAKORIZO (A GREEK SPINACH RISOTTO)
One of our favourite vegetarian (ladera) meals. Most often, it is made 'white' - without the use of tomato paste added to the cooking liquid. I like it both way, though, and alternate.

Steps:
- Heat ¼ cup of the olive oil in a large pot. Add the onions, leeks (if using) and scallions and sauté them over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes or until they are soft.
- Stir in the rice and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until it is well-coated with olive oil. Next, add the spinach in batches and stir often to cook down.
- To the pot, add 4 cups of hot water (or vegetable stock) and season with salt and pepper. Cook over low heat, partially covered, until the rice is tender but fully cooked, about 20 minutes.
- About five minutes before it is done, stir in the fresh dill and parsley. Check the consistency and add some more hot water if necessary. The finished dish should not be dry, but rather slightly brothy.
- Stir in the lemon juice and remove from the heat. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Drizzle with the remaining ¼ cup of olive oil and let it sit, covered with a clean kitchen towel, for about two to three minutes. At that point the rice will have absorbed most of the liquid in the pot.
- Serve it warm or at room temperature with some hearty bread, Greek Feta cheese, or, Greek yogurt on the side.

SPANAKORIZO (GREEK SPINACH AND RICE)
In Greece spanakorizo is served as a main dish with crusty bread. Please do not omit the fresh lemon juice and feta it is what makes this dish special, I use freshly grated Parmesan cheese sometimes in place of feta. Two 10-ounce boxes frozen spinach, thawed can be used in place of fresh. You can double the complete recipe but do not double the olive oil, butter and garlic amounts. If you are not a dill-lover then reduce amount.
