Good stuff! I left out the peas and feta (since I didn't have any), added chicken and pine nuts and extra lemon. It tastes like the filling of a spinich pie, and is great topped with plain yogurt. It's easy and versatile which is right up my alley!

I added Kalamata olives and chopped fresh tomatoes and left out the peas in mine, but otherwise made per the directions. The taste was delicious and this is one pilaf I plan to make often, as we really enjoyed it with our baked lamb chops seasoned with greek seasoning. Thanks MsBindy! Ann

A delicious side dish, which helped me use up some leftovers (I really love versatile recipes!) I used Fresh Orange Rice and 2 c. cooked spinach, so omitted the peas. I also used 1 tsp dried dill which I added with the other seasonings. I like this a lot, it's full of delicious flavors, thanks!

This is incredibly quick and easy, especially if you cook the rice the night before or use leftovers! I used fresh mint and found I needed more lemon juice and a lot more garlic to get the flavour we like. Lovely with the feta tossed through when serving; thanks for posting!
