Spanakorizo — spinach and lemon rice

Why it worksSpanakorizo should be soft and a little wet, not fluffy. Lemon at the end makes the spinach taste fresh.

Ingredients

• 250 g white rice
• 450 g frozen spinach
• 200 g onions
• 60 g spring onions
• 1 lemon
• 40 ml olive oil
• 100 g feta

Method

1. Chop the onion and slice the spring onions. Heat the olive oil in a pot with a lid on medium heat. Cook them for 8 minutes, until soft.
2. Add the frozen spinach. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring, until it has melted and most of the water is gone.
3. Stir in the rice. Add 500 ml of hot water and a pinch of salt. Put the lid on and cook on low heat for 18 minutes, until the rice is soft. It should still be a little wet.
4. Turn off the heat. Stir in the lemon juice and lots of black pepper. Crumble the feta over each plate.
