- Add the olive oil and saute the onion, celery, and carrot until they begin to soften, approximately 7 to 10 minutes.
- Deglaze the pan by adding the white wine to the onion/celery/carrot mixture. Let simmer for a moment.
- Return the meat to the pan along with the cooked rice, spinach, pine nuts, oregano and salt and pepper, to taste.
- Stirring constantly, heat mixture thoroughly, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.

Sounds delish! I grew up with meals like this. We grew our own squash, and so it was mainstay in our diet all winter long. Fantastic recipe. Thanks.
