Rinse the rice until the water runs clear, then drain.
Soften the onion and scallions in olive oil for 5 minutes.
Coarsely chop the spinach, add it to the pot, and stir for 4 minutes, until wilted.
Add the rice, water, salt, and black pepper, and stir.
Cook covered for 18 minutes, until the rice is tender.
Add the dill, mint, and lemon juice.
Rest the pilaf for 8 minutes, then stir so the rice does not break.
💡 Tip: Cooking the rice gently in the spinach juices fills the grains with green aroma.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve warm with lemon wedges and dill, and add tomato salad if desired.
