Spinach & Rice AKA Spanokoriso

This was one of the dishes I made last night. Its nice a light and is packed with Iron from all the Spinach! Its so delicious and fresh tasting. I usually sprinkle some freshly squeezed lemon juice over the rice when Im ready to eat and its heavenly!! Heres what you will need:

- 1 Bunch of fresh spinach (not spinach thats prepackaged)
- 2 cups of Rice
- EVOO
- Salt and Pepper
- 3 Green onions
- 1 Red chilli pepper
- 1/2 cup of freshly chopped dill

Fill your sink with cold water, cut the stems off the spinach bunch and then chop the spinach up into 1 inch think pieces. Chop your red chilli pepper, green onion and dill finely. In a large skillet, drizzle some EVOO and throw in all your chopped ingredients and let them wilt and release their juices.

Once the spinach has wilted you can season with salt and pepper and then add your 2 cups of Basmati rice and stir. Then, add 4 cups of water and lower the heat. Let this all cook together while stirring occasionally until you see that the rice has soaked up all the water. Taste it to make sure your rice is cooked to your liking and then its done!!!

When your ready to serve, have some lemons on your dinner table and try sprinkling some lemon juice! It adds a whole other dimension! :)

Enjoy,
