Greek Rice with Spinach

Greek Rice with Spinach, Greek Rice with Spinach
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This greek rice with spinach dish is adapted from a recipe on A Family Feast blog.   I was making our greek lamb meatballs dish for the first time and it suggested serving them as part of a meze platter, with cooked rice or a greek salad.   I decided I fancied some rice, but didn't want to just have plain basmati rice, so I googled 'greek rice' and looked at a few of the search results that came up.   The recipe on A Family Feast really appealed as it had spinach in it and I had a bag of freshly picked spinach in the fridge from our garden.   I had all of the other ingredients too, but didn't have fresh dill, so used dried dill instead.   The rice was a winner and will definitely be made again and again.

We had it along with the our greek lamb meatballs, best basic houmous, a bowl of salad leaves and spring onions from our garden with baby tomatoes and cucumber chopped through it and toasted multi seeded flatbreads from Asda.   There was 3 of us for dinner, but I managed to save a portion of the rice and meatballs, along with some houmous for lunch the next day!
