This simple and easy Spanakorizo (Greek Spinach Rice) is made with fresh baby spinach, stock, fresh herbs, and lemon. It\u2019s one of many classic and traditional Greek recipes and one of my personal favourites. This Greek rice recipe makes a great side. It\u2019s a great vegetarian option (simply swap the chicken broth for vegetable broth) full of flavor thanks to the fresh herbs, green onions garlic and lemon! It\u2019s simple, creamy and delicious.<\/p>\n

What is Spanakorizo?<\/h2>\n

As I mentioned above it is a Greek style spinach rice. It\u2019s all in the name as \u2018Spanaki\u2019 (\u03c3\u03c0\u03b1\u03bd\u03ac\u03ba\u03b9) meaning spinach and \u2018rizi\u2019 (\u03c1\u03cd\u03b6\u03b9) meaning rice. It is like a creamy spinach risotto in that it is meant to be creamy but I would say spanakorizo tends to be saucier or wetter than risotto. It is loaded with spinach and I mean loaded so therefore it\u2019s a meal with some bonus nutrition as spinach contains vitamins, minerals, like vitamin C, Vitamin A and K, along with fiber. We had this often growing up and most Greek households had this or some variation at least once a week. You either love it or hate. I loved it and still do while my brother loathed it. I can eat it everyday and make a meal of it too with a greek salad and loads of feta – can\u2019t go wrong I say!<\/p>\n
