Rice with Spinach, Lemon, and Dill
by melissacrosslinpowers
"Cooking the spinach with the rice adds character, but don't expect its color to be bright green. Augment the proteins in this dish by stirring in 1/2 cup crumbled feta or 1 cup large-curd cottage cheese or by garnishing it with cubes of Fried Kasseri and toasted pine nuts."

INGREDIENTS
- 2 tbs olive oil, butter or a mixture
- 1 cup finely chopped scallions (including some greens)
- 1 cup long-grain white or brown rice
- 1 large bunch spinach leaves ; finely chopped
- 2 tbs chopped dill, or 2 tsp dried
- 1 lemon ; zested and juiced
- salt and freshly ground pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
Warm the oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the scallions and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, 3-4 minutes. Add the rice, spinach, dill, lemon zest, and 1/2 tsp salt; cook until the spinach has wilted. If you're using white rice, add 1 3/4 cups water; for brown rice, add 2 1/4 cups. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and cook until the liquid is absorbed, 15-18 minutes for white rice, 30-40 minutes for brown. Add the lemon juice and gently loosen the grains with a fork. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. Season with pepper and serve.
