Directions:To make the spinach rice, heat a saucepan over medium heat and spray lightly with oil spray. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes or until soft and translucent, stirring occasionally. Add the spinach, half of the dill and parsley and cook for 5-10 minutes or until the spinach has wilted, stirring frequently. Add the rice and 2 cups of water (or 1 1/4 if using 4 1/4 oz brown rice) and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining dill and parsley and season with lemon juice, salt and pepper, if desired.
Meanwhile, heat a non-stick fry pan over medium heat and spray lightly with oil spray. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes or until soft, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic, chili, oregano, and shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through, stirring occasionally. Remove the shrimp from the pan.
Add the tomato paste, crushed tomatoes, parsley, and 1/2 cup of water. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 7-10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Preheat the broiler to high. Place the shrimp saganaki in a small baking dish and sprinkle over the feta. Broil for 3-5 minutes or until the feta is lightly browned.
Serve the shrimp saganaki with the spinach rice on the side. |
