A simple Greek side dish, a nice change from basic rice. Using chicken broth in place of the water adds extra flavor. Ingredients:
1 cup rice |
1 medium onion, finely chopped |
1/3 cup olive oil |
2 cups boiling water or 2 cups chicken broth |
1 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 lb fresh spinach |
Directions:
1. Saute rice and onion in olive oil , stirring occasionally for 10 minutes. Add boiling water and salt; simmer covered for 10 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, wash spinach well then cut into 1/2 strips (you can roll a group of leaves together and cut into strips).
3. After rice has simmered for 10 minutes add spinach and mix well, cover and continue to simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
