Greek Leek Rice 希臘韭蔥燉飯

Cooking rice with leek in the Greek way is one of Mr. 197’s favorites. I used not to eat leek that much until Mr. 197 shared how much he misses and loves this dish.

Then I find out that making Greek leek rice is super easy and simple. There are no fancy ingredients in this recipe, and little hands-on time, it’s also a vegetarian/vegan (if you use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock), diary-free, and gluten-free recipe.

By the way, don’t miss out on the lemon juice at the end before you serve. The lemon juice makes a difference to the whole dish, it enhances the flavors so nicely.
