I just had Spanakorizo for the first time at my friend’s house two nights ago. I loved it so much I came home and started researching recipes. This is a terrific reference and your picture has convinced me that I’ll be making it tomorrow. Thank you for the inspiration.

I can’t wait to make this. But I was wondering if passata is just a plain tomato sauce or is it something more? Thanks.

This recipe was delicious – except it took a lot longer to cook (probably 45 min in total) Does aborio rice take longer than other white rice I wonder? With longer cook time I needed an extra cup or so of water too… But it was worth the effort. Best part about it – my super fussy 18month old loved it! As did my 3.5yr old. So happy to see them eating the spinach that came straight from our vegie patch. Yum!

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!!

[...] don’t have a Spanakorizo dish on my site (yet) but as a reference point, my friend Peter’s Spanakorizo is as good as it [...]

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!
