    Was going to make up a spinach rice, but decided to check out GR's offerings, and see if any friends had one posted. Found this one and it seemed to fit my needs. I'm not gonna rate it, because I did a few things differently, and I can't say how it would have turned out, as directed. :) I needed to feed 6, so, I sorta doubled the recipe, but not the spinach, and it was PLENTY. Lots of spinach in there. Also, we don't eat plain white rice, so I used brown. This increased the cooking time, of course, as I expected. And, I thought the water:rice ratio of the recipe, as written seemed high, especially with all the water spinach releases, so I didn't change those amounts. Even using brown rice, and the ratio listed, and cooking twice as long(cus of the brown rice :), it still had a lil standing liquid, so I can't see needing to add more. I did add a fair bit of salt and pepper after the taste test when it was done. Next time, I would use stock instead of water to give a lil more flavor. I did the Greek version, and the feta fit right in, there...it was great. Also, don't leave off the lemon juice, that acidic boost is a must! :) Thanks, Willow, for the recipe....it went well with our shrimp. I added my pic! :)
