Wash well (at least 3 times) and clean the spinach, removing the thick stems, drain and chop it coarsely.

Add as much spinach as you can fit, close the lid and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to wilt and "sit".

Add the rest of the spinach, cover again with the lid for another 1-2 minutes.

Open the lid, add the rice, 1 - 2 tbsp olive oil, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper.

Gradually add hot water until the rice is cooked and cover the pot, leaving a crack for the steam to escape.

When the rice boils after about 15 minutes, add the lemon, test to see if it needs salt or lemon, if it does add more and take it off the heat.

Serve immediately with fresh bread.
