This Greek recipe for leek walnut rice with saffron can be both a main course and a side dish. It is perfumed with all the wonderful flavors of the Greek earth, especially in the saffron, aka krokos Kozanis. Rice is an important ingredient in the Greek diet and is often prepared as a main course, in dishes like spanakorizo (spinach rice) and prasorizo (leek rice). These vegetable rice recipes are classics during periods of fasting, too, but they’re also quite elegant and have that hard-to-resist texture thanks to the addition of extra virgin Greek olive oil. You’ll love this recipe! It’s great any time of the week or year!
