Spanakorizo (Greek Spinach & Rice)

This is from a recipe of Kouzouna's Kitchen. When I made the Healthy Greek Spinach & Kale Dip recently, after initially cooking onions in olive oil and then steaming fresh spinach and kale in it, I put some of the greens away for later. They turned into this rice dish, with some more olive oil and onion, dried basil, fresh oregano, basmati rice, a little ground cumin, salt, and water. When I tried the dish, I squeezed some fresh lemon juice on it, and had it with some yogurt (pictured here). The spinach rice was very warm and comforting, and also fairly light. This is a dish to definitely make again.
