Turkish Spinach Rice

Often, I was surprised by similar tastes between Korean and Turkish food. This Turkish Spinach Rice (my Turkish chef's one of the specialties) is a good example of this. A spicy and savory taste of this dish will be great for dinner during winter.

<What we need>
1 package of spinach
a half cup of rice - washed and soaked in water
1 cup of (or more) water
1 onion - sliced
2 long hot peppers - sliced
2 Tsp tomato paste
salt, pepper, & red pepper flakes

<Let's make it>
Fresh spinach from the farmer's market.

This time, we decided to use one pepper and onion. 

Before start cooking, wash rice. 

Keep them in the water until adding them to the pot.

In the pan, add oil and warm it up for 2 mins. Add sliced onions and stir until they become transparent.
Add sliced peppers and stir fry them together.

wash and chop spinach

 
When pepper and onions are cooked, add tomato pastes. Stir fry them together.

Then add chopped spinach and stir fry them together. 

Add one cup of water (or more based on how you want to serve) and simmer them for 10 minutes


Tada~! Nice savory dish!

Iowa City Jazz Festival 2019

    One of my favorite summer events in Iowa City, Jazz Festival. This year, me and my buddy had a project, walking every night for an hour. During Jazz Festival, our destination was the Pentacrest where we can chill out with amazing live music and jazzy excitement.  And we got a bonus present, fireworks! The second day of Jazz Festival, we came to the Pentacrest again and had another amazing concert night.
