Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1kg fresh or frozen spinach, rinsed and stemmed (35 oz.)
200g rice white rice (7 oz.)
1/2 cup olive oil
4 spring onions, chopped
1 red onion, finely chopped
1 leek, sliced
1/2 bunch dill, finely chopped
150g tinned chopped tomatoes (5.5 oz.) or 200g of fresh tomatoes, if in season.
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 cube vegetable stock
salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • To prepare this spanakorizo recipe (Greek spinach and rice), heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions, spring onions and leek and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until translucent.
  • Add the spinach and cook stirring for a few minutes, until wilted. Stir in the tomatoes, the tomato paste, two cups of hot water, the vegetable stock, the rice and season. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 20-25 minutes, until the rice is tender.
  • While the Spanakorizo is simmering away, stir it every so often and check if the pan appears to be getting dry. If it is, add some more hot water and stir.
  • To know when its ready, take a grain of rice out of the skillet and pinch it with your fingernails. If its white on the inside it needs a little bit longer. When it's close to ready, season with salt and pepper to taste. Finally, finish the spanakorizo with fresh chopped dill and cook for a a couple more minutes.
  • Serve this traditional Greek spinach and rice (spanakorizo) with a squeeze of a lemon and top with crumbled feta. Enjoy!

SPANAKORIZO (GREEK SPINACH AND RICE)



Spanakorizo (Greek Spinach and Rice) image

In Greece spanakorizo is served as a main dish with crusty bread. Please do not omit the fresh lemon juice and feta it is what makes this dish special, I use freshly grated Parmesan cheese sometimes in place of feta. Two 10-ounce boxes frozen spinach, thawed can be used in place of fresh. You can double the complete recipe but do not double the olive oil, butter and garlic amounts. If you are not a dill-lover then reduce amount.
