Spinach and Quinoa (Spankorizo)

This traditional Greek recipe is usually made with rice, but I have replaced it with quinoa and found that it's very tasty!


Ingredients
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 onion, finely chopped
3/4 cup frozen spinach
3/4 - 1 cup tomato sauce
1 cup water
1 tsp dried dill weed
1 tsp dried parsley
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup quinoa

Directions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion in skillet until soft and translucent. Add spinach and stir for 2-3 minutes. Turn heat down to medium-low and add tomato sauce. Stirring occasionally, cook until spinach is distributed throughout mixture.

Pour in water and bring to a boil. Stir in quinoa, parsley, dill, salt, and pepper. Reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until a thick consistency forms. (It will also thicken when it's removed from the heat. You are looking for an end product that you're able to pick up with a fork.)

Serve with chicken souvlaki!
