Greek Spinach Rice Spanakorizo Recipes

SPANAKORIZO (A GREEK SPINACH RISOTTO)

One of our favourite vegetarian (ladera) meals. Most often, it is made 'white' - without the use of tomato paste added to the cooking liquid. I like it both way, though, and alternate.

GREEK SPINACH RICE (SPANAKORIZO)

With tons of fresh herb flavor, this Greek spinach rice is a simple dish with complex flavors. Serve as a side dish with grilled chicken, lamb, or stew, or by itself as a vegetarian main course. The fresh squeeze of lemon juice and feta crumble are critical to the taste - don't leave them out!

Steps:

Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add rice and stir until every grain is coated in oil and you hear it start to sizzle. Stir in 2 teaspoons salt, pepper, cayenne, and green onions and cook for about 1 minute.
Add dill, mint, spinach, and 2 3/4 cups water. Mix until thoroughly combined and bring to a simmer.
Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until rice is tender, about 25 minutes. If rice is not quite ready at 25 minutes, add a splash of water, cover, and continue to cook until it is ready.
Uncover and stir well. Cover again and let sit for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust salt if necessary.
Divide rice mixture evenly into six bowls. Squeeze ½ lemon over each serving, then top with feta cheese, pickled onions, chili flakes, and a drizzle of olive oil.
