INGREDIENTS (serves 4)
1½ cups Long grain rice
500 g. Leek cut into rings (3 leeks)
3 tbsp Chopped dill (fresh hold minimum for serving)
3 tbsp Fresh spearmint chopped or 1½ tablespoons dried
1 Onion, finely chopped
1200 ml. Vegetable broth
1½ tsp Sugar
80 ml. Lemon juice (the juice of 1-1½ lemon)
100 ml Olive oil
1 tsp Salt – ⅛ tsp Pepper
After having washed and chopped the ingredients, start by sauteing the onion in the olive oil, add the sugar. Then add the leeks and when they’re soft, add the rice. Stir well so that the rice absorbs the oil and liquids.
Add the broth and as soon as everything boils, add the spearmint and dill. Lower the heat and let boil for 10-15 minutes.
Near the end of the boiling, add the lemon juice, salt and pepper and turn the heat off. Cover with a lid and let the rice absorb the rest of the liquids.

First!
I love leeks…come spring I know some spots to harvest some
Doing great because it's the weeeekend! I didn't realize lent involved abstaining from animal products, that's amazing. Here it's just kind of 'whatever you want to give up, give up'. Looks great!
SUPER LIKE OT ДРУЗЕЙ 👭 ❤ 5
Looks awesome and full of great ingredients.Would never have thought of leeks in this.Great stuff 😊
I love this kind of food… Coming from a Greek background myself, I find it funny that choosing to eat vegan food is generally frowned upon (in my experience anyway, maybe it's a Cypriot thing lol) but completely 'acceptable' and almost mandatory during religious observance periods 🙂
delicious and mouth watering
Looks great, I will try this soon!
Leek's my favorite! ☺
