Ingredients
- 6 Leeks
- 1 cup Carolina rice
- 2 Carrots
- 2 Tomatoes
- 1/3 cup Olive oil
- 1 Lemon
- 1/3 cup Fresh dill
Steps
- Slice the leeks into thick rounds and wash meticulously — grit hides between the layers.
- Soften the leeks and carrots in olive oil 10 minutes until silky and sweet.
- Stir in the rice and grated tomatoes; toast 2 minutes.
- Add hot water to cover and simmer 18 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and creamy.
- The prassorizo should be moist and spoonable, like a loose risotto.
- Finish with lemon juice and dill off the heat.
- Serve warm with olives and bread; spanakorizo’s leek-based sibling, humble and deeply comforting.
