Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 45 min
  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    Rinse the spinach leaves thoroughly, tear off the tails. This procedure is the longest, I advise you to thoroughly rinse each leaf so as not to crunch with sand afterwards))) In the absence of fresh spinach, try to take frozen, in which the leaves are preserved as much as possible. Very finely chopped spinach, I think, will not go.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Chop the onion and fry it in vegetable oil. The Turks do it with olive oil, but since there are many opponents to heat olive oil, I recommend the usual sunflower oil. Then add the pasta. At this stage, meat lovers can add minced meat.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Put spinach in portions and, covering with a lid, let each portion "melt" for about a minute. When all the spinach moves into the pan and it turns out to be a runny mass, add rice (or bulgur), add a little water and cook over low heat until the rice is cooked. When cooking, it would be better if the spinach stood so hot for 10-15 minutes before serving. And it is served with sour cream or unsweetened yogurt.
