Prasorizo Greek leeks and rice

Ingredients

• 1/3 cup (80 mL) olive oil (plus additional for drizzling)
• 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
• 3 medium leeks, ( diced (approximately 4 cups))
• 3/4 cup (160 grams) medium grain rice
• 4 cups (32 fl oz) water
• juice of 1 lemon
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill (plus additional for garnishing)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 4 spring onions, sliced

Instructions

1. 1

   wash: Trim, wash and cut the leeks into ½ inch slices. We cut the leek in half lengthwise and slice it into half rounds

2. 2

   Heat the olive oil in a large sauce pot, add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes, till the onion becomes soft. You don't want to burn the onion.

3. 3

   Add the leeks and saute for an additional 5 minutes, again being careful not to burn them.

4. 4

   Add the rice, and saute for 1-2 minutes.

5. 5

   boil: Add the water, and bring to a boil. Cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rice is ready.

6. 6

   cook: After 20 minutes, most of the water should have been absorbed by the rice; if you find the rice is still not quite ready, and there is hardly any liquid. Add some boiled water and cook for another few minutes.

7. 7

   Uncover, add the lemon juice, the salt and pepper, the dill and spring onions, and stir to combine.

8. 8

   let sit: Remove the pot off the heat, and let sit uncovered for 5-10 minutes; where it will continue to thicken up.

9. 9

   Serve, drizzle with some olive oil, and top with some extra dill.

    Enjoy.
