1 In a pot put the 4 tbsp of olive oil in medium-high heat. Add the onion and sauté for couple of minutes. Add the spinach and dill and continue to sauté for couple of minutes. Now if you use frozen spinach add the water and the rice, salt and pepper, lower heat to medium-low and let it cook until rice is ready. If you use fresh spinach add ½ cup of water and let it boil for a while. When the spinach is soft, add the 2 cups of water and the rice and let cook. Around five minutes before you turn off the fire add the olive oil. Let it simmer for five minutes. 2 Make sure your spanakorizo is not dry, meaning that there should be juices in the pot. 3 Drizzle with lemon juice and serve.
