A few days ago, I was surfing one of my favorite cooking blogs Closet Cooking, and I came across this rice recipe. It’s quite simple to prepare and makes a nice side dish or even a light lunch.
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (chopped)
1 bunch spinach (roughly chopped)
1 cup long grained rice
2 1/2 cups broth or water
1/4 cup parsley (chopped)
1/4 cup dill (chopped)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 lemon (juice and zest)
1/4 cup feta (crumbled, optional)
Heat the oil in a pan.Add the onion and saute until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about a minute.Add the spinach and cook until the spinach wilts.
Add the rice, broth or water, parsley, dill; season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil.Reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the rice is cooked, about 20 minutes.
Hit with a splash lemon juice and garnish with feta.
Makes 4 servings.

OOOOO! This sounds really good! Right up my alley! I always like simple tasty dishes. But especially in summer. Hope you're good!
Reminds me of spanakopita. Sounds delicious. Put feta on just about anything and I'll eat it.
That sounds very good and healthy and even looks great. Thanks for sharing.
This sounds delightful. I am bookmarking it to try very soon. Best wishes and blessings, Tammy
Hmmm...sounds like it might be a nice light lunch!
