Spanokoriso OAMC Spinach Rice
Freeze your own takeaway! This came from an October 1986 Home and Freezer Digest, a British magazine. It can be a vegetarian main dish, especially if you sprinkle with feta before serving. Fills four 7.5 x 5x 1.25 inch (19 x 13 x 3 cm) foil trays. Use whatever containers work for you. You can use frozen chopped spinach too, just thaw and drain, pressing all the moisture out. And it's great with kale, dandelion greens, etc. Look up edible weeds and use them. Purslane has the most omega 3s in the plant kingdom,tastes like spinach and grows like the weed it is!
