3 tbsp. olive oil
1 medium onion chopped
4 garlic cloves chopped
4 tbsp. chives or scallions chopped and divided
4 tbsp. dill chopped and divided
1/2 lb. baby spinach
1 cup basmati rice
2 cups vegetable broth can substitute with water
3 tbsp. butter
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tbsp. lemon zest
feta cheese to garnish

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions for about 5-7 minutes, or until translucent. Add the garlic, 2 tablespoons of dill, and 2 tablespoons of chives. Sauté for another minute or two. Add the spinach, and cook for 3-4 minutes, just until it wilts down. Add the salt, pepper, basmati rice, and vegetable broth and stir. Bring it to a boil, cover with a lid, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 20 minutes. Stir in the butter, lemon juice and zest, and the remaining dill and chives. Garnish with feta cheese and lemon wedges. Serve.
