Steps:
- To prepare this spanakorizo recipe (Greek spinach and rice), heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions, spring onions and leek and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until translucent.
- Add the spinach and cook stirring for a few minutes, until wilted. Stir in the tomatoes, the tomato paste, two cups of hot water, the vegetable stock, the rice and season. Reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for about 20-25 minutes, until the rice is tender.
- While the Spanakorizo is simmering away, stir it every so often and check if the pan appears to be getting dry. If it is, add some more hot water and stir.
- To know when its ready, take a grain of rice out of the skillet and pinch it with your fingernails. If its white on the inside it needs a little bit longer. When it's close to ready, season with salt and pepper to taste. Finally, finish the spanakorizo with fresh chopped dill and cook for a a couple more minutes.
- Serve this traditional Greek spinach and rice (spanakorizo) with a squeeze of a lemon and top with crumbled feta. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Rinse the rice well a few times until the water runs clear. Put the rice in a bowl and add water to cover it by 1 inch. Let is sit to soak for 20 minutes or until you are easily able to break one grain of rice between your fingers.
- Heat ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil in a braising pan. Add the onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until soft and golden brown. Add the spinach, lemon juice, garlic, tomato paste, and a big pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Sautee the spinach until just wilted. Stir in the mint and dill weed.
- Drain the rice well and add it to the pan. Add 1 ½ cups of warm water. Bring to a boil for 3 minutes until the water reduces a bit. Turn the heat to low and cover.
- Let the rice cook undisturbed for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and fully cooked through and all the liquid has been absorbed.
- Once cooked, let the rice sit covered for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
- When ready, fluff the rice with a fork and garnish for feta and parsley, if you like.

SPANAKORIZO (GREEK SPINACH AND RICE)
In Greece spanakorizo is served as a main dish with crusty bread. Please do not omit the fresh lemon juice and feta it is what makes this dish special, I use freshly grated Parmesan cheese sometimes in place of feta. Two 10-ounce boxes frozen spinach, thawed can be used in place of fresh. You can double the complete recipe but do not double the olive oil, butter and garlic amounts. If you are not a dill-lover then reduce amount.

SPANAKORIZO (A GREEK SPINACH RISOTTO)
One of our favourite vegetarian (ladera) meals. Most often, it is made 'white' - without the use of tomato paste added to the cooking liquid. I like it both way, though, and alternate.

SPANAKORIZO - GREEK SPINACH RICE
This was originally a recipe that you started at home and then finished it over a campfire at your tent site. I adapted it to the kitchen - didn't take much - but it turned out wonderfully. It's supposed to be a side dish especially for lamb. I think it's so good that I eat it as my main course.

Steps:
- Discard spinach stems. Rinse leaves well and spin dry (best) or dry thoroughly with paper towels.
- In a 6-8 quart dutch oven, add the regular olive oil and onion and cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is soft, 8-10 minutes.
- Add part of spinach at a time and cook, stirring often, until each batch is wilted before adding more (cover with lid if needed to speed things up) about 15 minutes total.
- Stir rice and 1 cup water into spinach; set lid in place. Cook 15-20 minutes on medium low heat. Lift lid, stir and add 3/4 cup water (or more if needed) so mixture looks juicy. Replace lid and cook until rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
- Remove pot from heat and set aside for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Stir in dill, mint and lemon juice, then season to taste with sea salt. Crumble feta on top, drizzle with the excellent quality olive oil. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top and serve.
- Bon Appetit!
