Our caregiver makes this for the kids (ages 1 to 3) at her daycare and they all completely flip for it. It is far and away their favorite meal at Mama Zoe’s. Now that my daughter is no longer attending the daycare, she misses her “spinach and rice”, so I came here to find a good recipe. This one sounds closest to what Mama Zoe makes. Thanks!

Although I am of Greek descent, my mom never made this and I didn’t grow up eating it (or refusing to eat it). When I finally got around to cooking it for the first time several years ago, I flipped! I ate it like I hadn’t eaten in a week. So, I love spanakorizo even in its humblest form. Now I am trying this version. Yes, I am cooking this right now. Delighted that I had spinach, parsley, dill and mint. First time trying it with mint. Curious to see if family will detect/enjoy mint addition. Looking forward to dinner! Thanks for posting!!

I made a no-concentrates, more tomatoey brown rice version of this on the weekend, thank you so much for inspiring me, its just so warm and comforting! Next time I’m going to whack in mushrooms and olives too, so tasty

I browsed all your recipes without blinking, but this one in particular reminded me of my grandma who was Greek and used to cook it for me. Thank you!

I agree with Ivy that the mint is a nice touch, as I too am not a huge spanakorizo fan. I’ll have to try your recipe, Peter. I assume that if I use your recipe the spinach won’t make my teeth feel fuzzy?

Mmm, one of my favorites Peter! We grew up without putting any tomato base in it, but I’ve been thinking of re-trying it with some tomato flavor in there.

Yummy…looks so creamy & comforting. I love the use of mint in here and isn’t it amazing how our tastes change over years!
