How to make Spanakoryzo - Greek Spinach and Rice - Σπανακόρυζο

[@nathanfarias1051]

This was absolutely the best spanokorizo I ever made or tasted !So rich and sublime yet earthy ..the tips of adding the herbs and lemon at end took it over the top as usually they seemed muted in other versions ! Ty so much for sharing this treasure btw I had feta on side but barely touched it as this was so flavorful .. I used 3/4 cup rice and same rest ..

I love this ! I ve made it before a few times but more like a pilaf more rice, but will adore this more wet version .. I have crumbled feta on it to serve and lemon , is that traditional ?

[@GreekCookingMadeEasy]

Sure you could add feta, it's not very traditional because this is considered a Lenten dish. But it is a very delicious addition

[@danielforater8376]

Just a tip for a more healthy version is to add the spinach at the end, when you the rice needs about 2-3 mins of cooking until done.

[@GreekCookingMadeEasy]

Thank you for the tip 👌🙌🌟♥️

I have a simple version: Place a frozen block of spinach in a saucepan, add 1 1/2 cups of cold water and 1 cup of rice (I rinse the rise first). Cover the saucepan and bring it to a boil. As soon as it starts to boil, turn the heat down to low and cook for 15-20 minutes. Add fresh squeezed lemon juice (and mint if you like). Serve warm.

[@GreekCookingMadeEasy]

Yes sounds great and simple. The only thing I need to stress is that nothing beats the taste of fresh spinach

I think I will boil some kritaraky, I have some leftover lapatho, I ve made it with Green garlic and onion and it s too harsh to my stomach.maybe i could "buffer" it 😂.Usually we also made it with Rice , from the begging. And the nettles with polenta. On our cooking channels by that time of the year all the monks and nuns are cooking nettles😂. There is a time on Earth for everything😊. Once I saw a nun who put tahini sauce to the nettles but i haven’t found it to my liking. For me, they only go along with garlic and horseradish ( root, gratted). Do you cook and eat nettles too?

[@GreekCookingMadeEasy]

Yes, in many areas in Greece it is common to use them

[@nathanfarias1051]

Hi I love this dish ! I’ve made it a few times but with more rice like a pilaf .. I’m sure I’ll adore this wet version .. why not add all the liquid an tomato paste at once and also I’ve served tia with crumbled feta on top or as side plus the lemon is that traditional too ?

[@GreekCookingMadeEasy]

The water goes slowly in, sort of like you would prepare risotto. Lemon is definitely traditional, as I mentioned feta isn't. But if you like it, you could sprinkle it on top or leave at the side. The tomato paste goes at the end to preserve its enhanced flavor

[@GreekCookingMadeEasy]

Thank you for all your comments and questions. I do have a killer fasolada recipe. In my Channel, just search "Fasolada" and it will pop up. If you are not successful, let me know and I will send you the link 🙋‍♀️👍😄

[@nathanfarias1051]

I only found long grain rice today at market due to shortages .. can I still follow your recipe ?I’d like to do one cup of rice to feed three .. also made the fasoultha recipe was delicious but as always my white beans spit and never keep their shape .. I did not overcook .. low boil lid partially open etc it’s the only bean I have trouble with ? Any thoughts ty

[@GreekCookingMadeEasy]

Someone else asked me the same question about rice shortage. It's ok to use long grain. The result will be grainer instead of mellow, but will taste the same, it's fine. If using 1 cup, add more spinach and herbs if you have them. About Fasolada: it happens to me sometimes especially if beans are not very fresh. An idea is to soak in water 12 hours before, adding 1 tsp. Baking soda to soften them.
