For authentic Greek flavor, substitute two teaspoons chopped fresh oregano for dried. Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked white rice |
1 cup boiling water |
3/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, packed without oil |
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided |
8 cups bagged prewashed spinach (about 8 ounces) |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 cups (8 ounces) reduced-fat feta cheese, crumbled |
1/4 cup chopped pitted kalamata olives |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained |
3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted |
10 lemon wedges (optional) |
Directions:
1. Cook rice according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Cool to room temperature; set aside.
2. Combine boiling water and sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl; let stand 30 minutes or until soft. Drain and cut into 1-inch pieces.
3. Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add spinach and garlic; sauté 3 minutes or until spinach wilts. Combine rice, tomatoes, spinach mixture, cheese, and next 5 ingredients (through chickpeas). Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with nuts; serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
