Spanakorizo (Greek Spinach & Rice) – from Karen
Serves 8
2 Points value

1 cup long grained brown rice
2 ¼ cups water (or stock)
1 bunch spinach
1 tsp olive oil
1 small onion (chopped)
1 lemon (juice & zest)

Cook the rice in the water as directed. (45-60 minutes on the stove or bake it or steam it – whatever your preference)

Heat the oil in a pan. Add the onion and sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and spinach and cook just until the spinach wilts. Add the lemon juice, dill and feta and remove from the heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

DELICIOUS! Thanks for the recipe...it is so flavourful that we didn't miss the fat at all. The only thing I added was a few sprinkles of garlic salt.
