Spinach with Rice (Pirincli Ispanak)

2lb spinach/ can/frozen
1/2-2/3 cup rice/half bulgur, washed and drained
1 onion, chopped
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 ½-2 cup hot water
1tsp salt to taste

In a pot sauté onions with olive oil over medium heat. Stir in tomato paste and sauté for 1-2 minutes. If you are using fresh spinach, wash and drain them then, chop . If you are using canned or frozen spinach, just add them into pot. Over medium heat stirring occasionally, cook them till most of the water evaporates (5 minutes).
Stir in rice or rice-bulgur mixture and add hot water, salt (I use half bulgur and half rice, because it’s more nutritious that way). Close the lid and cook over low heat for 20-30 minutes, till the rice is cooked.
You can serve Spinach with Rice, with yogurt or yogurt on top. Also you can sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top.
ENJOY
