spinach and rice (spanakorizo)











This dish was impressive.  So full of flavor and very authentic according to the reviews.  I loved putting two pounds of spinach into the dish and watching my kids eat it right up.  It was absolutely delicious paired with the meat dish and cucumber yogurt sauce I found to go with it.  No need to dine out!

spinach and rice (spanakorizo) (adapted from allrecipes.com)
1/4 cup oil (I will try to cut back a little more next time)
2 onions, chopped
2 pounds spinach, stems torn off
8 ounces tomato sauce
2 cups vegetable broth
1 teaspoon dill weed
1 teaspoon dried parsley
salt and pepper
1/2 cup uncooked rice (I used brown jasmine and cooked the dish twice as long)

Heat oil in a large skillet.  Saute onion until soft and translucent.  Add spinach then pour in tomato sauce and water.  Bring to a boil, season with parsley, dill, salt, pepper.  Stir in rice, reduce to low, simmer 20-25 minutes.
Sprinkle feta and lemon juice before enjoying.
