Spanakorizo - Greek spinach and rice recipe

Spanakorizo is an easy weeknight fix with just a few inexpensive ingredients, most of which you probably already have in your pantry. It’s a cozy spring dish that reminds me of college when I started cooking for myself on a budget. I could make a pot full of spanakorizo and eat it for breakfast with a fried egg, take it for lunch between classes, or have it for dinner with a beer and feel totally satisfied. 

As with most Greek dishes, this recipe is going to remind you of a dish you've probably eaten already; in this case, Italian risotto. And, as with most Greek dishes, it might feel a bit more rustic or lacking in finesse. But please don't mistake any of that for lack of flavor, heartiness, or luxury. Some would call it #uglydelicious. Best served with your favorite crisp white wine, some feta, or next a protein for a super hearty and healthy side. I hope you enjoy it!
