Steps:
- Wash the spinach and tender stems until the water runs clean; drain. If leaves are large and crinkly, sprinkle lightly with salt and mix well. Let stand in a colander 15 minutes; rinse and squeeze out excess moisture. Shred the spinach to make about 3 cups.
- Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 10-inch straight-sided skillet. Add the scallions, onions, a pinch of salt, and 1/4 cup water and cook, covered, over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. When the water evaporates, slowly let the onions turn golden, stirring occasionally. Add 1 cup water, the reduced tomato purée, and rice. Cover and cook for 10 minutes.
- Spread the spinach and dill over the rice, cover, and cook 10 minutes longer. Remove from heat, mix, then place a double thickness of paper toweling over the rice, cover again, and let stand until cool. Adjust the seasoning with black pepper and salt and drizzle with the remaining tablespoon olive oil. Serve at room temperature garnished with black olives and feta cheese or yogurt.

CHICKPEA AND SPINACH WITH FRESH FIGS AND BLACK OLIVES TAJINE.
I thought I might do a little variation on a traditional morrocan dish (because I bought myself a new Tajine). This Dish has the unusual combination of orange zest and fresh green chillies and whole spices.The Tajine I am using is a 32cm one (quite large but everything will fit in a large casserole dish). And please try to use Fresh figs (I have a little tree that gives me some fruit now and then) and tinned spinach (it just has that deeper taste). I just like it in a bowl with warm pita or soft tortilla but can be served with couscous or boiled rice. Please enjoy and let me know what you think...I love it.
