How to cook deliciously - Greek Spinach Rice (Spanakorizo)

1. Stage

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add rice and stir until every grain is coated in oil and you hear it start to sizzle. Stir in 2 teaspoons large-grain kosher salt, pepper, cayenne, and green onions and cook for about 1 minute.

2. Stage

Add dill, mint, spinach, and 2 3/4 cups water. Mix until thoroughly combined and bring to a simmer.

3. Stage

Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until rice is tender, about 25 minutes. If rice is not quite ready at 25 minutes, add a splash of water, cover, and continue to cook until it is ready.

Uncover and stir well. Cover again and let sit for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust salt if necessary.

Divide rice mixture evenly into six bowls. Squeeze ½ lemon over each serving, then top with feta cheese, pickled onions, chili flakes, and a drizzle of olive oil. Greek Spinach rice . Chef John
