One pot easy Greek style spinach and rice (spanakorizo)

This is one of my favourite quick and easy dishes from Greece that is super healthy and cheap to make. I usually have all the ingredients in the house so it’s very convenient when I haven’t been on my weekly food shopping yet and I need to make a quick but hearty meal after work.

Instructions

1. Place the chopped onion with the oil in a large pot and saute until transparent and add spinach. Stir for a couple minutes.

2. Add tomatoes, 2 cups water, stock cube, lemon and rice (keep adding water as needed). Cook for 20-30 minutes until rice is soft.
