SPANAKORIZO

Well this dish isn’t the most beautiful by any means but it sure is delicious.  It is based off of a traditional Greek dish called spanakorizo.  It reminds me so much of my childhood as it was one of my favourite dishes my grandma would make for me.  We would pick the fresh spinach, dill and tomatoes from her garden.  I can’t wait to have a garden half as wonderful as hers, just waiting on the go ahead from the city to do anything to our yard.

You can add white beans to it or chickpeas if you desire for some added protein.  Sometimes I love added a white bean but I didn’t have any in my cupboard.  It is really simple and it is just a matter of adjusting it to your taste buds.  Let me know if you guys have any questions.
