Add the rice and saute for a few minutes, stirring constantly, then add the  tomato sauce (or same amount of canned chopped tomatoes, drained) and water, cover  the pan and simmer until the rice is almost tender (approximately 10 minutes). Uncover  and stir in the spinach, parsley, mint; season with salt and pepper. Partially cover the pan  and continue cooking, stirring with a wooden spoon until the spinach has wilted. Grate a  little nutmeg over the top and continue cooking until all the liquid has been absorbed and  the spanakorizo is tender, not mushy. Remove from the heat and drape with a dry towel  until ready to use. Transfer to a warm serving dish, and garnish with the sliced eggs and  lemon wedges.
