Spanakorizo (Greek Spinach Rice)

3 C baby spinach
1 small leek, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
3 tomatoes, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 C Basmati rice
1/2 C fresh parsley, chopped
1/4 C dill, chopped
1 tbls. Greek oregano (dried)
Pinch red pepper flake
1/4 C olive oil
1/2 C vegetable stock
Salt & pepper to taste
1/2 lemon juiced

1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add all ingredients to the pot with the exceptions of lemon juice. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated and brought back to temperature. Reduce heat and cover, cook for 20 minutes, stirring every so often to insure rice is not sticking. If all liquid has absorbed and rice is still not cooked add a little more vegetable stock.

2. When rice is cooked completely, squeeze lemon juice over and mix well.

Serve with vegan pita bread and a nice side of vegetables.

Enjoy!
