Greek Spinach and Rice - Spanakorizo | Akis Petretzikis

This is so good. Combination of spinach, lemon and rice is perfect for a hot day - so refreshing. I made it many times. Sometimes I make a lazy 15min version of it - with frozen spinach and onion flakes. Still good, but the full recipe is a masterpiece! Thank you for this recipe!

You are a professional - lovely dish, I am loving these meat free dishes, I can remember fasting and not eating meat during the fasting period, and my Yiayia cooking these delicious meals, we really didn't feel we were missing out ever, hope to see more of these vegan/vegetarian dishes. Thank you Akis x

Nice to know how to cook 👍👍thank you for sharing the recipe❤

I'd never come across this dish on my travels around the Greek islands so was keen to try it. Made it yesterday and it is simply beautiful!

♥️

I love this recipe. I normally add a leek when I’m making this otherwise I follow the instructions. ❤

Efcharisto poli Chef Akis, love all your dishes and I did to his one and came out awesome. Thank you!

Για σπανακορυζο, το σπανακι φυλλα και κοτσανια η μόνο φύλλα?

Scallion confused me at first. We (uk) say spring onion. Scallion is American?

I love this 😍 I’m definitely going to try this, looks so delicious and healthy 👍, thank you for sharing Akis, many blessings 🙏

Yia sta xerakia sou

Found this dish a few months back but it add mint also in it. I'm just surprised in this one there are none, makes i t very unique :) Can't say I dislike that surprisingly. I wounder if it's usually common?

I'm from Indonesian... i'm very...very like greece food

❤❤❤

An ex-girlfriend (Greek) made a more simplified version of Spanakorizo. She didn't use the Dill or the stock, or the wine. Water was used in place of the stock. And she typically added cheese to it; whatever we had on hand, but her preference was Feta. It was one of my favorite dishes!

Akis thank you very much for the recipe, but can I add blitz and spinach to make the same recipe

The recipe is great. I have tried it with feta and sunny-side up egg and tastes wonderfull.

Made this and it’s AWESOME! Ευχαριστώ πολύ

Looks delicious! So healthy and nutritional 😍 love it😍 I want to cook it right now

Thank you 24 7.

Very nice, thanks Akis

Hi skis. I just made spanakorizo and it became yummy yummy, I will surprise my husband today. First time I made it .

He's so hot....is he married?

You are cool, thank you from Persia!

Want to try this soon. Looks yummy. Loving your channel and recipes

Efharisto poli Akis! I used to make this frequently and it is delicious. A little tangy from the lemon, super aromatic from the dill and lemon, and rich/hearty from the risotto rice and spinach.

😋 delicious

Why use the juice of 2 lemons and the zest of 2 other lemons? 🤦‍♂️

Thank you very much ♥️

How can we make our own vegetable stock?

What kind of stock was used?

You're not only PROFESSIONAL but HANDSOME too well done 👏 👍 🙌

I cook this kind of dish all the time for my vegan friends when they visit but we top ours off with a couple of very lightly poached eggs for ourselves. They do cause me some problems in my kitchen but they bring some beautiful wine which is compensation.

Καλή Σαρακοστή

huj amount of deliviousness. I love that accent. My smile did not go down from my face throughout the whole video. Respect Akis

I am professional, I like that

Greek food is easily my favourite, but I tend to overlook dishes like this in favour of the insanely delicious meat dishes. but after over-indulging on some very naughty french toast this morning, I thought I should maybe make something a little healthier for dinner today. I came across this video, and just had to try it, as I adore spinach and Akis really makes it seem like your life isn't complete unless you've tried it.
And it was delicious!
I then found my way to the website and have found about 100 more things I can't wait to try!
Thank you Akis! I was in a cooking rut, and you've triggered my enthusiasm again. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a date with some Baklava! ;)

I’ve tried this recipe last week. Guess what am I cooking this Sunday again😂😂😂?

I used kale instead of spinach because that's what I had AND IT WAS THE BOMB!!! I just cooked the kale first with garlic because it takes longer to cook and added it at the end. Thanks for another delicious recipe, Akis! This is definitely going to start being a regular around my house.

Would mint go well with this as an alternative to dill?

Greek cuisine is like Italian with afterburner; the flavours keep coming

That's it. I am now convinced that Akis speaks directly to God Zeus and they exchange recipes for the benefit of us mortals. :)

👍 Great 💞

Now people at last see Greek food and not only souvlaki. This is why they say it is healthy! Not because of souvlaki!
Also alot of olive oil in this, and feta.and bread.

Oh yeah... One of our kings of Greek food. Bravo Aki! Had forgotten of this food! Need to eat!

I made this for dinner last night with your Shakshuka recipe. Yummy!
😋

i love you

You are soo Greek. The only good thing with my childrens' father was learning how to cook. I wish I had taken more notice of what yia yia cooked. She cooked just like you but couldn't read - she has gone now

Just cooked this delicious recipe, and I’m changing nationality…I’m Greek from now on! How I lived for so long without Greek food! Thanks Akis…you are the man!

The beauty of simplicity that is Greece! Aki, people rave about Cretan cuisine. I've found the loveliest dishes and people in Thessaloniki and surrounds. Keep cooking and keep filming!
