Spinach And Rice Casserole
(Spanakorizo)
What You Need:
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 pounds fresh spinach
  • ˝ cup chopped onion
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 cup raw rice
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • Water (1˝ to 2 cups)

  • How To Cook:
    1. Wash, drain, and coarsely chop the spinach. Put the olive oil, onion, parsley, spinach, salt, and pepper into a large casserole.

    2. Cook, covered, in the microwave oven 5 minutes. The spinach will cook down considerably.

    3. Add the rice, tomato paste, and enough additional water to cook the rice. If a lot of water clings to the spinach, only 1˝ cups will be needed.

    4. If very little clings to the spinach, the 2 cups will be needed. Cover the casserole and return to the microwave oven.

    5. Cook 15 minutes more. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

    TIP:
        Just before adding the rice, make a nest of the spinach by putting some of it up the sides of the casserole and some on the bottom. It makes for a prettier dish. The rice is better if stirred at least once during the cooking. Take care to stir carefully; try not to disturb the layer of spinach.
