Prasorizo is a classic Greek vegan meal made with leeks and rice.

Prasorizo Greek leeks and rice

onion

leeks,

(160 grams) medium grain rice

(32 fl oz) water

lemon

dill (plus additional for garnishing)

salt

black pepper

spring onions, sliced

wash

Trim, wash and cut the leeks into ½ inch slices. We cut the leek in half lengthwise and slice it into half rounds

heat

Heat the olive oil in a large sauce pot, add the onion and cook for about 5 minutes, till the onion becomes soft.  You don&#39;t want to burn the onion.

Add the leeks and saute for an additional 5 minutes, again being careful not to burn them.

boil

Add the water, and bring to a boil.  Cover, and simmer for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rice is ready.

cook

After 20 minutes, most of the water should have been absorbed by the rice; if you find the rice is still not quite ready, and there is hardly any liquid.  Add some boiled water and cook for another few minutes.

uncover

Uncover, add the lemon juice, the salt and pepper, the dill and spring onions, and stir to combine.

let sit

Remove the pot off the heat, and let sit uncovered for 5-10 minutes; where it will continue to thicken up.

serve

Serve, drizzle with some olive oil, and top with some extra dill.

Enjoy.

A classic Greek green salad prepared with finely chopped lettuce and plenty of fresh herbs.

Maroulosalata, a Greek lettuce salad

curly lettuce, (you can use romaine if you prefer)

cucumber,

spring (green) onions, chopped

tbsp finely chopped, flat-leaf parsley

basil leaf, finely chopped

Greek oregano

Greek olive oil

vegetable oil

tbsp red wine vinegar

Wash your lettuce thoroughly and remove any brown or wilted leaves.  Drain your lettuce.  A salad spinner is very helpful here.

chop

When your lettuce is dried, you are ready to chop it.  Using a sharp knive, take a few lettuce leaves at a time (piled on top of each other) and start to cut the lettuce into bite-sized strips, a few centimeters wide.  Place in a large bowl.

To the lettuce add your cucumber pieces and your chopped green onion.

combine

In a jar with a well-fitted lid, combine all of your vinaigrette ingredients. Shake well until combined and right before you are ready to serve your salad, pour as much of the vinaigrette over it.  Mix well.

Enjoy, and serve with feta if desired.

Nice light salad. Makes me think of spring when the lettuces started appearing at the laiki.
