Techniques
- red onion
- olive oil
Finely chop the red onion and cook in a pot with lots of olive oil over medium-low until soft and translucent, without color.
- 6 cloves large garlic cloves
Smash the garlic cloves with the back of the knife, peel and slice into rounds.
- 2 lb baby spinach leaves
- salt
- freshly cracked black pepper
Add the spinach a little at a time, seasoning each batch with a pinch of salt and black pepper, over medium-high so it wilts quickly.
Add the rice, half a teaspoon of salt, black pepper and a cup of water; bring to a boil.
- ½ cup arborio rice
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup water
Reduce to low, cover and cook about 15 minutes until the rice is tender.
- fresh lemon juice
- ½ tsp dried mint
Stir in the dill, a little lemon juice and the dried mint; simmer another four or five minutes.
- feta cheese
- lemon wedges
- toasted hearty bread
Serve drizzled with olive oil, with lemon juice, feta, lemon wedges and toasted bread.
Serving, and ladera
