I recently dished up Greek spinach rice at my friend Shambhu’s house during my trip to Westhampton, NY. It just so happened that his cleaning lady was there during lunch. I had to surprise her with a taste of greek cuisine!

Becky was impressed by how tasty, yet healthy it was. I told her it’s a staple dish that my yiayia would make for the family as I was growing up.

Through my experience in New York, I realized I should share this superb rice dish with everyone. So, here is the killer recipe for Greek spinach rice on akispetretzikis.com, a food blog by one of my favorite Greek chefs Akis Petretzikis.

Just a few suggestions:

  • Preparing the spinach is easier if you use the largest bowl you have

  • Adding chicken bouillon boosts flavor, 1 teaspoon should suffice or to your taste

  • Switch up the kind of wine you’re using. White wine is my preferred choice, but sometimes a deep red wine makes for a nice change

  • Sprinkling feta crumbles to top the dish off will take you to heaven

This dish is one of my all time favorites because it is both healthy and flavorful. I definitely feel it’s good for the digestive system. So, treat yourself and your loved ones an exceptional meal. Enjoy - Kali Orexi!
