Fay's spanakorizo (Rice with Spinach)


 Ingredients
1 kg spinach (cleaned, washed and coarsely chopped)
4 leeks (white part cut into washers)
6 green onions (chopped)
1 large onion (chopped)
1/2 bunch dill (chopped)
2 handfuls of long grain rice 
olive oil
salt - black pepper
Fresh juice of 1 lemon

Method
Cover the bottom of a casserole with olive oil and saute onions, fresh and dried with leeks.
Sauté until transparent  add the spinach, stir and cover to wilt. The spinach will pull fluids so do not add water immediately. 
After the wilted spinach, add the dill, rice, 2 cups water, salt and pepper.
Boil for 10 minutes more, stirring frequently to avoid sticking the rice. Then withdraw the food from the heat, sprinkle with the lemon juice and leave it covered until all fluids have been absorbed 
Serve with fresh crusty bread and feta cheese!
