You can t have too many great rice recipes in the repertoire, and this Greek Spinach Rice truly is a great recipe. If you ve never had it before, I highly recommend you give it a try as soon as possible, and I think there s a very good chance it goes into the regular rotation. ThePanda: hello chef john, some greek insight over the dish: you definitely need to add a tbsp of tomato paste, and maybe 1/4 of a dry onion before the rice, then spinach, then water and all the herbs in the end! Also, you need to add a good half a cup of raw olive oil at the end! And that is the reason-or the excuse- to eat feta alongside the dish! Feta, freshly baked bread and a preserve(such as pickled anchovies, or salted olives, or dried salamis) are typical by-plates of the greek table when the dinner is a ladero (usually a veggie dish that is finished with a lot of olive oil. Anyway, love the show, have a good one!

It's a dish that every child in Greece has It's memory from childhood. Especially all these times where we were sitting in the table with disappointment (in reality few children were eating it. My mother was telling me stories from Popay so it was easier to try it. As a mother of two, if your children don't eat it, try to add a little dill and add more rice in it. Extra tip: If you want to absorb all iron that contains, avoid feta cheese. Only. Definitely a very nutritious dish. Thank you Chef John.

Chef John, aside being a huge fan of yours and a feeder (being told by people that I cook for and keep on coming back) I am also a geek. Your blog posts are unfortunately not mobile friendly. Can you check that otherwise you can DM me and will help you configure that.
Lastly you should be posting everyday!
Thank you so much for your videos, quirky sense of humour, your take on recipes and methods and for your hard work!

Chef! I love the new part in which you show all the ingredients ahead!
Please please keep it going forward.
It looks so amazing starting the recipes with the organisation like you did here.
Can't wait for the next video.
PS: I still would love to see your take on Gnocchi alla Sorrentino (my food wishes and the best comfort food you will have)

My grandma adds leek as well and you can put vegetable stock in instead of water for extra flavour.
Used to hate this as a kid because I hated spinach (despite loving spanakopita- i don t get it either) but have grown to love it now. Also using baby spinach rather than silverbeet might be an interesting change.

A sharp knife is really one of the best kitchen tips. I do woodworking & found sharpening my chisels is relaxing so I got in the habit of keeping my knives really sharp. Now I love being able to accurately cut anything, never fighting through a cut & even dicing a soft tomato is easy.

You might want to add a slightly whipped egg with
lemon juice as a heavy garnish and if you want
something lighter, also, very common here in
Greece is whipped olive oil with lemon juice which you
will find in every Greek Tavern, we love you Chef John!

Folks, btw, even herbs are costly now like mint, etc. a good alternative to this is Spinakopita which you can find on Chef John's home page archives, & does not need all the herbs, is less costly, filling, & delicious

Maybe you would also like to introduce your audience to the youvarlakia. Its little meatballs with mince and rice inside an egg-lemon soup. It doesn't look fantastic but it tastes very good.

Looks wonderful. I imagine this would be good hot or cold. If there were left overs, I think this would make a nice lunch, adding the fresh squeezed lemon just before it was time to eat.
