How to Make Spanakorizo
Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet or Dutch oven, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the diced yellow onion and sauté for approximately 6 minutes, until it’s golden brown and fragrant.
Add Aromatics: Mix in the minced garlic, along with half the fresh dill and chives. Stir well and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes, letting those aromatic flavors bloom.
Incorporate Spinach: Toss in the sliced spinach, kosher salt, and ground black pepper. Cook for about 4 minutes, just until the spinach begins to wilt and turn vibrant green.
Cook the Rice: Stir in the basmati rice and pour in the chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover it and reduce the heat to low. Allow it to simmer for 22 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
Finish the Dish: Once done, stir in the butter, lemon juice, and zest. Add the remaining dill and chives, followed by the crumbled feta cheese. Serve immediately.
