Eco-Keto Greek Spanakorizo/ Spinach and ‘Rice’ with Dill and Lemon
Spanakorizo (pronounced Spana-KO-Rizo) is a simple yet flavourful Greek vegetarian dish which is traditionally made from spinach and rice and is naturally gluten-free. Instead of arborio rice, we have used cauliflower rice and zero animal based ingredients to keep it friendly for an Eco-Keto diet. Spanakorizo is a typical country dish that can be enjoyed hot or cold, all year round. This Keto dinner recipe is a one-pot pilaf dish perfect for healthy midweek meals and those following an Eco-Keto diet plan. The healthy fats in this dish come specifically from the olive oil so it’s key to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil, especially for serving.
What can you serve the dish with?
Just give a squeeze of lemon to taste, extra freshly chopped dill, a crumbling of feta (if your diet permits it) and serve with Keto bread to mop up the rich sauce. You can equally serve it as a side to your favourite protein if you’re following a standard Keto diet.
Can I make any substitutions?
If you don't have fresh dill, you can also use 1-2 Tbsp dried dill.
Can you reheat this recipe?
This Eco-Keto dish will keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for about 5-7 days and can easily be reheated in the microwave or over the stove.

Carb Manager is getting very lazy about nutrition info & omitting ingredients in their recipes. Makes me hesitant about using any of their nutritional values. Will not be renewing my subscription when it’s time to renew.

Interesting recipe, no “tomato paste” on ingredients but calls for some in the instructions. Please include qty in ingredients and sent to wmchubb@yahoo.com
