Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  2. Stir in the rice and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing it to lightly toast in the oil.

  3. Pour in the vegetable broth, dried oregano, and dried dill, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a lid. Let the rice simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender.

  5. Once the rice is cooked, add the chopped spinach to the pot. Stir well to incorporate the spinach into the rice mixture, allowing it to wilt.

  6. Remove the pot from the heat and let it sit, covered, for a few more minutes to let the flavors meld together.

  7. Serve the Spanakorizo Spinach Rice warm, garnished with a wedge of lemon.
