Spanakorizo

In its simplest form, spanakorizo consists of rice and spinach that are slowly simmered until creamy and well combined. The dish is usually generously seasoned with lemon juice and olive oil and is easily adapted with additional ingredients such as spring onions, chickpeas, leeks, and a variety of herbs and spices.

It is traditionally prepared during Lent but is commonly enjoyed all year round as a healthy main course, when it is typically accompanied by feta, or as an accompaniment to various meat or seafood dishes.
