Greek Rice - Rice With Spinach and Feta Recipe #115503
This recipe for a delicious and easy rice side dish came from Michael at Gail’s Recipe Swap, and I’ve fiddled with it a little. Although I don’t get to eat rice often, this one looks so tasty I have to put it here for safe keeping when I get to splurge! :)

- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3/4 cup diced onion
- 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or 2 teaspoons minced fresh oregano

- 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
- Over medium heat in a saucepan, combine the rice, broth, and water, and bring to a boil.

- In a skillet over medium heat, melt the olive oil and butter together, then add the onion, mushrooms, and garlic for 5 to 7 minutes, then stir in the lemon juice and oregano.
- Add the spinach and pepper, then sprinkle with the sherry and toss until the spinach is slightly wilted; remove from heat.
- Add the crumbled feta and toss until the cheese begins to melt.
- Add to the cooked rice, toss well, and serve immediately.
