Hello.
Spanakorizo is a Greek vegetarian dish, and as I am now in Greece it seemed appropriate to attempt a Greek recipe. In all fairness it wasn't my idea, but my mother's, but I took upon my self to create it. I made this for supper, along with a roast chicken - I decided to solely write about the rice as it is slightly more interesting, and I'm sure there will be many a recipe that can quite easily explain the process of roasting a chicken on the internet or in your kitchen at home. This recipe is super delicious, and far more interesting than having bog standard rice.
Ingredients
Half a Cup of Olive Oil
2 Medium finely chopped onions
Half a teaspoon of chilli pepper
1 and a half cups of long grain rice
3 cups of chicken stock (or 3 cups of water with 1 and a half chicken stock cubes)
2 and a half fresh and chopped Spinach
Some Salt
1/2 a cup chopped, fresh Dill.
(You could, if you wanted, have some yoghurt on the side)
This is the kitchen that I cooked in.
These are the ingredients that I used.
If the spinach has ends take them off.
Cut up the spinach.
Chop the onions.
Add the half cup of olive oil to a deep, heavy skillet and then sauté the onions until soft and translucent. Should take about 5-10 minutes.
Meanwhile put the chopped spinach in a large saucepan, add a third of a cup of olive oil
Cover the saucepan and let it wilt. 5 minutes.
Add the rice and chilli pepper to the onions, stir for a few seconds.
Add the stock to the spinach and let it boil.
Once it boils, add the rice and onions to the saucepan.
Stir the contents of the pan. Reduce the heat. After 5 minutes add the chopped dill and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Serve immediately.
I hope you enjoy.
