Step 1
Wash the spinach well in cold water and drain it thoroughly. Roughly chop the spinach, finely chop the onion and dill, and keep the dill separate.

Heat 3 tbsp (45 ml) olive oil in the large pot over medium heat. Add the prepared onion and cook until soft and translucent.

Stir in the rice, water, salt, and black pepper. Bring the liquid to a gentle simmer over medium heat.

Cover the pot, reduce to low heat, and cook until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
