Ingredients

Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Spanakorizo

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté until the onion is translucent.

2

Add Spinach and Rice

Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Add the rinsed rice and vegetable broth, bringing it to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked.

3

Mix in Feta and Seasoning

Remove from heat, and stir in the crumbled feta cheese, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and chopped dill. Set aside to cool.

4

Prepare the Sea Bass

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Rinse the sea bass inside and out, then pat dry. Rub the outside with the remaining olive oil, and season with salt and black pepper.

5

Stuff the Sea Bass

Stuff the cavity of the sea bass with the spanakorizo mixture.

6

Grill the Sea Bass

Place the stuffed sea bass on the grill. Cook for about 6-8 minutes on each side or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

7

Blister the Cherry Tomatoes

In the last few minutes of grilling, add cherry tomatoes to the grill, turning occasionally until blistered.

8

Serve

Remove the sea bass from the grill, serve on a platter with blistered cherry tomatoes on the side.
