Spinach and Rice (Spanakorizo)

This was awesome. I followed the recipe exactly except for using chicken broth instead of water... I sprinkled feta and lemon juice on top. SO GOOD!

I prepared this last night and served with fried pork shops and a salad. My husband said it was a very delicious meal. I made the changes I read from some Greek reviewers. I used only 2T oil and sauted the rice, onion and garlic first. Then I added the boiling 3 cups of chicken broth. I covered and simmered for the 10 minutes. Then I added 2 pkgs (10 oz) of frozen spinach, thawed and drained, 4T of tomato paste, parsley & dill. I had to use dried as no fresh in the house. Cook COVERED for 20-25 minutes with a little feta thrown in the last few minutes. I didn't add the lemon but will next time. It was NOT mushy. The texture was great. We enjoyed the dish and will make again. Another reviewer suggests this would be good as filling for stuffed peppers or tomatoes. I think it would definitely be good and will try it.

Very good - easy too and only one skillet to clean! I did make some modifications so that the flavors would go better with the Italian-based marinade that I used on pork loin chops. The tomato sauce was flavored with garlic-basil-oregano and instead of water I used tomato juice. A healthy amount of Italian Seasoning and parmesan cheese intensified the Italian flavor. Next time I'll plan ahead and make it following the recipe and suggestions for a Greek side dish.

tasty and healthy, with some alterations! I used pre-cooked instant brown rice flavored with chicken broth, eyeballed the olive oil, used extra tomato paste, and finished it off with dill, lemon juice, and as really really should be listed in the recipe--feta cheese! it tasted a lot like a fattening creamy tomato risotto I ate a restaurant once, except it was so healthy!

Yummy. Four servings as stated in the recipe were enough to feed two carnivores (as sides) and one vegetarian (as the main). I used 1 tbsp tomato paste instead of tomato sauce, and used fresh spices. Also added 2 minced cloves of garlic and and quartered plum tomatoes. The fresh lemon and feta is a must!
