This was a delicious and easy to prepare recipe. I substituted fresh spinach for frozen and low fat feta for regular feta cheese. Very tasty and filling without being heavy. I can't wait to make it again.

    This is a great, healthy dish. As written, I think it would be quite bland. I added garlic, dried basil and dried oregano while I sauteed the onion in a rosemary-infused olive oil. I added some lemon juice to the vegetable stock when I cooked the rice. I wanted a creamier consistency, so I pureed the spinach before I added it to the mixture. Finally, I topped the entire thing with grated parmesan to create a cheesy crust before baking. With a few variations you can get a really flavourful dish.

    This is a nice healthy dish. DH loved it (he is a rice lover). I used 5 cups of packed fresh spinach wilted in boiling water instead of the frozen. The only thing I would change is next time is to add salt and maybe some garlic. Thanks Roosie for sharing this recipe.
