Greek spinach and rice with tomato sauce

Preparation time: 5'

Cooking time: 20'


Ingredients
90 ml. olive oil
1 dry white onion
3 spring onions
2 cloves of garlic
1/2 fennel
1/2 bunch of dill
2 cloves of garlic
70 gr. Tomatopaste KYKNOS
300 gr. Crushed Tomatoes KYKNOS
600 gr. water
200 gr. carolina rice
2 lemons (zest and juice)
Salt, Freshly ground pepper

Preparation
Crop the dry onion, garlic and dill while cutting the spring onion into rings and the fennel into very thin slices. Place a saucepan on medium heat and pour the olive oil.

First add the fennel and the dry onion and let them wilt for about 2 to 3 minutes. Then add the fresh onion and garlic and cook for another 1 minute.

Add our rice, which we have rinsed very well, and the Tomatopaste KYKNOS and mix well for another 1 minute. Add the water and the Crushed Tomatoes KYKNOS and add some salt and pepper.

Coarsely chop the spinach with our hands and throw it into the pot. Mix and close the lid. Repeat for 2-3 more times, letting it cook for 2 minutes each pot.

Add the juice, zest and chopped dill and let it cook for about 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave our food in the pot with the lid closed for another 5 minutes.

Serve with our favorite feta cheese.
