Step 1 of 6

Place spinach leaves into a large bowl. Cover with boiling water and stand for 2 minutes or until just wilted. Drain and refresh in iced water. Cool. Drain.

Step 2 of 6

Heat 1 tbs oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 3 minutes or until softened. Stir in rice. Add stock and bring mixture to the boil. Simmer for 5 minutes or until craters form in the rice. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat and stand covered for 10 minutes. Stir rice with a fork to separate grains. Cool.

Step 3 of 6

Finely grate rind of 1 lemon and juice both lemons. Add rind, half of the juice, pine nuts, currants and mint to cooled rice. Stir well to combine.

Step 4 of 6

Lay leaves onto a board to make a rectangle 15x12cm. Spoon 2 tsp of rice mixture onto spinach. Fold in sides, then roll up firmly to enclose the filling. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling.

Step 5 of 6

Place any damaged or remaining leaves and stems over the base of a deep large frying pan. Arrange rolls on top. Combine 1 cup water, remaining lemon juice and remaining oil in a large jug and pour over rolls.
