Ma Torg is hosting a Vegan Recipe Swap, and this week’s theme is Grains.

Here is my submission:

Spanakorizo

Ingredients:

* 2 1/4 pounds of fresh spinach, chopped, washed, drained
* 1 spring onion, chopped
* 1/3 cups of olive oil
* 1 1/3 cup of water
* 1 1/3 cups of long-grain rice
* 5 1/4 cups of water
* sea salt
* freshly ground pepper
* juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)

Preparation:

In a stock pot, sauté the chopped spring onion in the oil over medium heat for 8-10 minutes. Add spinach and 1 1/3 cups of water and cook until the spinach wilts, about 5-7 minutes. Add rice and 5 1/4 cups of water, bring to a boil, and cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in lemon juice and salt, cook for another 5 minutes and remove from heat. Stir, cover, and let sit for 20 minutes until the dish “melds.”
Serve with wedges of lemon and freshly ground pepper.

I don’t have a photo, but this is delicious and works as a main dish OR a side dish.
