Spinach with Rice a.k.a Spanakorizo

 More Greek words ;)  Spanakorizo, this is a dish I discovered at a local tavern here in Corfu and it's delicious especially if you love spinach. It can be served as a side dish or as a main course.

Ingredients

2 cups rice
1 1/2 spinach
1/2 lemon
1 beef cube knorr
1 tablespoon parsley
1 tablespoon dill
2 sprigs fresh onions
5 cloves of garlic
himalayan salt or regular salt  and pepper to taste
/12 teaspoon of oregano
1/3 cup of olive oil

Take your Spinach and cut the bottom of the stems. Soak them in water 3 or 4 times until they there's no dirt at the bottom of the bowl or pot.Drain and cut chop small pieces.

Finely chop all of you remaining greens as seen in the pictures below your dill, parsley, fresh onions, garlic. Add your rice and all your greens in a pot along with your olive oil and saute for about 10 minutes.

All my greens are fresh.

My parsley is fresh, I had so much that I placed it in the freezer. You can still chop it up.

Chop your garlic into small pieces.

When all your greens are chopped up place them in your pot add your rice, oil, oregano salt and pepper to taste.  If  you would like you can add 1 knorr meat boullion. Saute for 10 minutes.

I just love capturing food while it's cooking, it looks so mouth watering! 

Add 5 measurings cups of water. Cover and let cook for 30 minutes.

When the rice is sliced in the center it is ready, I prefer it a bit al dente. When it's ready to serve

squeeze half a lemon stir and serve. You can serve as a side dish or as a main course. Another tasty dish from my kitchen to your.
