Our Ingredients:
1 kilogram of cleaned and roughly chopped spinach
1 medium-sized onion, finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
30 grams of dried porcini mushrooms
1 bunch of fresh spring onions, finely chopped
200 grams of rice
½ bunch of dill
Lemon juice
Salt and pepper
½ cup of olive oil
500 grams of mushroom broth
Let's start a day ahead by soaking the dried mushrooms in 500 grams of warm water. Allow them to soak in the refrigerator overnight. The next day, strain the mushrooms, reserving the mushroom broth. In a pot, saute the onions and garlic in a little olive oil. Add the spring onions, mushrooms, and rice, and saute lightly (sauteing the rice helps retain its texture and enhances the flavors of the vegetables). Add the spinach and stir. Let the spinach wilt and reduce in volume, then add a cup of mushroom broth. The pot should have enough liquid as the spinach releases its own juices.
Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes. Be careful not to let it dry out. If necessary, add another cup of broth. Once the cooking time has passed, add the remaining olive oil, lemon juice (adjust to your desired level of tanginess), and dill. Let it come to a boil and then remove from heat.
Allow it to rest for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors and juices. Serve and enjoy this refreshing and flavorful spinach lemon rice with mushrooms.
