SPANAKORIZO (A GREEK SPINACH RISOTTO)
One of our favourite vegetarian (ladera) meals. Most often, it is made 'white' - without the use of tomato paste added to the cooking liquid. I like it both way, though, and alternate.

Steps:
- In a deep pan heat oil and gently fry onion and leek (if used) until soft.
- Wash (or soak if necessary depending on what kind of rice you use) rice, drain and add to onion.
- Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Add remaining ingredients, except spinach, and bring to the boil. Cook for 10 more minutes (longer, if using brown rice).
- Add the spinach, stir well and cover. Reduce heat and simmer on low heat for 5-6 minutes.
- Remove from heat.
- Leave tightly covered and allow to stand at least 1/2 an hour before serving.
- Serve with feta cheese, kalamata olives, crusty, peasant-style bread, a glass of wine and you'll think you're in Greece!
