This Spanakorizo formula has dependably had an extraordinary spot at our supper table. Fragrant and rich, this dish is adored by children and grown-ups. Underneath, I'll show you all that you have to think about this delectable Greek Spinach Rice.
WHAT IS SPANAKORIZO?
Spanakorizo is an exemplary Greek veggie lover dish made with spinach and rice. It is likely one of the most advantageous customary Greek plans since it's stuffed with bunches of spinach, onions, crisp herbs, and lemon. While a fundamental Spanakorizo formula contains just spinach, onion, and dill, there are numerous varieties of this dish.
WHAT KIND OF RICE IS USED IN SPANAKORIZO
There are numerous sentiments concerning which kind of rice works best in Spanakorizo. A few people appreciate short-grain white rice due to the smooth surface, and some favor darker rice for extra medical advantages. I use basmati rice in this formula. It is a top notch rice that cooks quick and turns out delicate, yet cushy, without fail. I propose beginning your Spanakorizo venture with basmati rice and afterward attempting different alternatives when you feel gutsy.
