A Greek side dish that goes very well with roasted chicken or other plain meats. Based on a recipe in Sofi's Aegean Kitchen by Sofi Lazarides Konstantinides. Ingredients:
1/2 cup olive oil |
6 green onions, finely chopped |
3 lbs fresh spinach, washed, trimmed, and coarsely chopped |
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice |
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill |
2 cups water |
salt |
fresh ground pepper |
2 lemons, cut into wedges |
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a large pot.
2. Saute the onions until soft, about 3 minutes.
3. Stir in the spinach and saute until wilted, about 3 minutes.
4. Add the rice, dill, water, salt and pepper. Stir thoroughly, and cover. Simmer about 15 - 20 minutes until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
5. Serve warm, garnished with lemon wedges.
