Greek Spinach Rice
Ingredients
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 2 pounds fresh spinach, rinsed and stemmed
  • 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup uncooked white rice
Instructions
1
Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat, warming the olive oil within. Sear sliced onions in the hot oil until they become tender and lose their crisp texture, allowing them to blend seamlessly into the dish. Introduce a handful of fresh spinach leaves and stir vigorously for several minutes, ensuring they wilt and become evenly distributed. Next, pour the prepared tomato sauce into the skillet, followed by a splash of water. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then season with chopped parsley, fresh dill, salt, and pepper to taste. Combine cooked rice into the skillet, gradually reducing heat to a low simmer, allowing it to cook uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until the rice is tender and fluffy. If needed, add additional water to maintain the desired consistency.
