Spinach with Rice
(Pirincli Ispanak)

1 bunch spinach, washed and drained
2 tbsp rice, washed and drained
1 garlic clove, sliced
1 medium onion, sliced
1 medium tomato, diced
50 ml extra virgin olive oil
1 pinch red pepper
Salt
Pepper
Sauce:
1/2 cup yogurt
1 garlic clove, mashed with salt
First cut the spinach in large pieces. Sautee the onion with olive oil in a medium pot, then add the garlic. Cook for a few minutes until the smell comes out. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Then add the spinach, tomato, rice, red pepper, salt and black pepper in the pot. Cover the lid and cook for about 20 minutes (until the rice is cooked) on medium-low heat.
Serve Spinach with Rice with the yogurt sauce.
If you like, you can also add some ground beef.
* This is a vegetarian dish.

This was really good. I put two table spoons in but i wish there was a bit more rice :(.. i split it into three portions and i ended up getting none!!
very delicous meal
Hi Hillary,
I love to have this dish with more rice, too, but my husband doesn't like it:(
I also like Leek with Olive Oil which is under "Olive Oil Dishes" section with more rice. You may like it too:)
Hi Binnur,
This was really creamy and delicious, used pudding rice.
Your website is great, I use it all the time, in fact I have some Koy Ekmegi rising at the moment. I wonder if you have ever tried "bici bici", the rose flavoured sweet you can buy from stalls in Adana. It is too sweet for me but my husband loves it and I can't find a recipe anywhere.
Thanks.
Wendy
Thank you Wendy:)
Bici is a kind of muhallebi without milk, shredded ice and sherbet as a topping. I am going to post it in the future:)
