I love the simplicity of this. You can vary the proportions to suit your personal taste. I like a lot of spinach and to eat it with a few drops of lemon juice squeezed over the top. You might also like to add a handful of freshly chopped dill towards the end. This could be served on its own as a starter, or to accompany a main course.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 30 g (1 oz) butter

Method

Heat the oil and butter in a fairly large, heavy-based saucepan. Add the spring onion and sauté, covered, for about 10 minutes or until softened but not browned. Add the garlic and carry on cooking for about a minute or until you can smell it. Add the spinach and mix through to blend the flavours.

Add the rice, mix through well and season with salt and pepper. Pour in
