This recipe is a bit of a variation to the traditional Greek Spinach and Rice recipe that is made with lemon juice. Instead of lemon juice, this version is made with tomato sauce. My Greek sister-in-law shared this recipe with me. This recipe is a companion to my blog post about how to grow spinach in your home garden.
