Spanakorizo
Greek spinach and rice cooked with olive oil, onion, dill, mint and lemon.
About Spanakorizo
Spanakorizo is a Greek one-pot dish whose name joins spinach and rice. This profile follows a lemony version seasoned with onion, dill and dried mint.
Spinach provides an earthy green flavour while rice softens and absorbs the vegetable juices. Olive oil adds richness, onion brings sweetness, and lemon, dill and mint give the dish a bright herbal finish.
The cooked rice is soft and lightly creamy among abundant dark-green spinach. It forms a moist, spoonable mixture with a green-gold sheen rather than a dry, separate-grained pilaf.
