Steps:
- Rinse the rice well a few times until the water runs clear. Put the rice in a bowl and add water to cover it by 1 inch. Let is sit to soak for 20 minutes or until you are easily able to break one grain of rice between your fingers.
- Heat ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil in a braising pan. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until soft and golden brown. Add the spinach, lemon juice, garlic, tomato paste, and a big pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Sautee the spinach until just wilted. Stir in the mint and dill weed.
- Drain the rice well and add it to the pan. Add 1 ½ cups of warm water. Bring to a boil for 3 minutes until the water reduces a bit. Turn the heat to low and cover.
- Let the rice cook undisturbed for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and fully cooked through and all the liquid has been absorbed.
- Once cooked, let the rice sit covered for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
- When ready, fluff the rice with a fork and garnish for feta and parsley, if you like.

SPANAKORIZO (GREEK SPINACH AND RICE)
In Greece spanakorizo is served as a main dish with crusty bread. Please do not omit the fresh lemon juice and feta it is what makes this dish special, I use freshly grated Parmesan cheese sometimes in place of feta. Two 10-ounce boxes frozen spinach, thawed can be used in place of fresh. You can double the complete recipe but do not double the olive oil, butter and garlic amounts. If you are not a dill-lover then reduce amount.
