Best Spanakorizo - Greek spinach and rice side dish or stuffing.

This is a great vegetarian side dish or light meal, wonderful sprinkled with some crumbled feta and served with some nice fresh bread and some olives. It can be also used as a stuffing in other recipes. Stay tuned for spanakorizo stuffed calamari for one such example.
Ingredients:
1 lb (500 mg) spinach, chopped roughly
1 lg onion, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 green onions, finely sliced
6 oz can (148 ml) tomato paste
4 tbsp (60 ml) olive oil
3 tbsp fresh herbs, parsley, dill, fennel or combination, minced
1 cup (180 gm) long grain rice, uncooked
salt & pepper, to taste
water, as needed

So very nice to meet you too!! :) Irish and Greek... that must be a party!! hahaha... You may message me, of course!! Happy to help!..
I have made up the pages of a cookbook, so far, but they need a lot of work to get ready for publishing, but that 'was' an idea... hehehe... I will hopefully get it done one day....
Thank you again for the kind message!!

Hi Michy... I wish you Kali tihi (good luck)... it says on your avatar that you are in Athens? You don't cook Greek food? hehehe... I am a little confused, but let me know how it comes out. Not the first recipe I would consider as my first attempt at Greek food but I hope you like it.

Thank you for the pronunciation.

[@MomsGreekKitchen]

I am glad you appreciate my attempt to get folx to pronounce Greek foods properly...it drives me a bit mental to hear the language slaughtered by well meaning folx... hahahaha

I think you’re just an agent of Big Olive Oil! 😁

[@MomsGreekKitchen]

hahahaha... that's cute :) Well... since my olive oil comes from the grove my mom helped plant as a young girl, and is only 250 olive trees... not sure that is quite true... but very funny!!
Thanks for the comment M!! 🥰

I use chicken stock and some cubed chicken, which is probably heretical, but it makes it into more of a main course.

[@MomsGreekKitchen]

Hey Joey... hahaha... It isn't orthodox... but if you said spanakorizo with chicken, I can accept that... :) I'll have to try that though, sounds like it would be good...
Thx for the comment and the interest in the videos. :)
