Greek Spinach Rice (Spanakorizo) image

Steps:

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add rice and stir until every grain is coated in oil and you hear it start to sizzle. Stir in 2 teaspoons salt, pepper, cayenne, and green onions and cook for about 1 minute.
Add dill, mint, spinach, and 2 3/4 cups water. Mix until thoroughly combined and bring to a simmer.
Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until rice is tender, about 25 minutes. If rice is not quite ready at 25 minutes, add a splash of water, cover, and continue to cook until it is ready.
Uncover and stir well. Cover again and let sit for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust salt if necessary.
Divide rice mixture evenly into six bowls. Squeeze ½ lemon over each serving, then top with feta cheese, pickled onions, chili flakes, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Steps:

Heat the oil in a large pan, add the onion and gently cook until softened but not coloured. Add the spinach and half the dill. Cook on a high heat, stirring regularly, until the spinach has wilted down and all the liquid has evaporated.
Stir in the rice and add 600ml water, then bring to the boil. Turn the heat right down again to a very gentle simmer, cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and cook for 25-30 mins or until the rice has cooked and absorbed all the water. Give it a stir after 15 mins to ensure even cooking, adding a drop more water as required.
When the rice is cooked, stir in the remaining dill, season well, squeeze over the lemon juice to taste, and serve.

SPINACH, CHICKEN, AND WILD RICE SOUP (SLOW COOKER)

This soup is easy to throw together. If you don't have pre-cooked chicken, I think it would work to add whole, uncooked chicken breasts at the beginning, then pull them out and cut them up before adding the spinach. From Better Homes & Gardens.

In a large heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil (1/4 cup). Add the sliced green onions (remember to reserve 1/2 cup of the dark green tops) and sauté until soft, about 2 minutes. Add the baby spinach and sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Add the basmati rice (1 cup) and stir to coat. Pour in the vegetable broth (2 cups) and add the kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon). Bring to a boil, stir once, cover, and simmer on low for about 15 minutes (or until rice is cooked - you should see holes in the top, and if you tilt the pot you should no longer see any water pooling).
Stir in the fresh chopped dill or other herbs (1/4 cup), the lemon zest (1 teaspoon) and juice (2 tablespoons), and the reserved sliced green onions (1/2 cup - keep some out for garnish if you like).
Season to taste with salt, and serve garnished with fresh cracked black pepper and crumbled feta cheese, with an extra drizzle of olive oil and sprinkling of fresh herbs, if desired.
