3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
freshly ground pepper to taste
1 1/2 cups uncooked rice
1/2 cup finely crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
fresh dill for garnish, optional
Cook rice according to directions and prepare the spinach mixture while the rice cooks. Wash trim and mince the spinach. Heat olive oil in a skillet, add spinach and minced garlic. Season spinach with 1 teaspoon of salt, dill weed, vinegar and black pepper. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring often until all the excess liquid is evaporated leaving a thick puree. Time the spinach to be done when rice is done. Fluff rice and fold in the spinach mixture until well blended. Mix in feta cheese and sprinkle Parmesan over the top. Stick in a 350 degree oven for a few minutes to melt the Parmesan or in the microwave. Do not cook long enough to crisp the rice, just to melt the cheese. Garnish with fresh dill for garnish if desired. Serve hot!
