Spinach rice (spanakoryzo)

Spinach rice is a nice dish that has lots of iron, fibers and if you add next to it some feta cheese and a fried egg, you will have proteins also! It's easy to make it and so tasty :) Here is how...


Ingredients

1 Kg of fresh spinach (or frozen, which is the case here)
1 dry onion
2 fresh green onions
some tomato sauce
1/3 of cup rice (arborio for risotto)
salt, pepper, olive oil, minced dill
some lemon juice

Procedure

Put in a low casserole the olive oil to cover the bottom. Mince the onions and fry them for 2 min. 

Once the onions are soft, add the spinach (the frozen as is, the fresh washed and cut in big pieces).
Continue by adding enough warm water to cover it, the tomato sauce, the dill, the salt and the pepper. Mix well and leave it cooking for about 15 min. Then, make holes in the spinach with a spoon and add portions of the rice.

Cover and leave it for about 20 min to cook the rice. When is done, take it out of the fire and put under the cover some absorbing paper and leave it for about 15min. Food is done!
Pour some lemon juice on top that will give extra taste and add some vitamin C :)))
