Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the rice several times until the water runs clear, then let it soak. Heat oil in a medium pot with a tight‑fitting lid and fry the sausage meat 2‑3 minutes until a crisp golden crust forms. Add the seeds and zucchini, and fry another 2 minutes over high heat so the water from the zucchini evaporates.

2. 2

   Add the drained rice, peas, broth and half of the chopped greens to the pot. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to minimum and cover. Cook 10‑12 minutes until the rice is tender.

3. 3

   Stir in most of the remaining greens gently into the rice. Serve, sprinkled with the rest of the greens on top, and serve the yogurt on the side.
