Greek Spinach Rice

Greek Spinach Rice

Greek Spinach Rice, known as Spanakorizo, is a comforting, healthy, and flavorful dish made with tender spinach, rice, and aromatic herbs. This one-pot vegetarian recipe combines olive oil, onions, garlic, dill, and lemon juice to create a light yet satisfying meal. It’s often served warm with a drizzle of olive oil and a side of feta cheese or a wedge of lemon for added brightness. Perfect as a main or a side dish!

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 ½ cups medium-grain white rice
  • 2 teaspoons large-grain kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
  • 1 bunch green onions, thinly sliced
  • ½ cup packed finely chopped fresh dill
  • ½ cup packed finely chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 1 pound frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 2 ¾ cups cold water, or more as needed
  • kosher salt to taste
  • To Serve:
  • 3 medium lemons, cut in half
  • ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons pickled red onions, or to taste (Optional)
  • 1 pinch hot chili flakes, or to taste (Optional)
  • 1 drizzle olive oil

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add rice and stir until every grain is coated in oil and you hear it start to sizzle. Stir in 2 teaspoons large-grain kosher salt, pepper, cayenne, and green onions and cook for about 1 minute.
  3. Add dill, mint, spinach, and 2 3/4 cups water. Mix until thoroughly combined and bring to a simmer.
  4. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until rice is tender, about 25 minutes. If rice is not quite ready at 25 minutes, add a splash of water, cover, and continue to cook until it is ready.
  5. Uncover and stir well. Cover again and let sit for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust salt if necessary.
  6. Divide rice mixture evenly into six bowls. Squeeze ½ lemon over each serving, then top with feta cheese, pickled onions, chili flakes, and a drizzle of olive oil.
