     Yummy and easy! We love all the ingredients. I always look for ways to add spinach to dishes. I served this with grilled salmon and broccoli to dinner guests and everyone loved it! I'll definitely make this again. It will also be good to take to a potluck dinner. Thanks! - 8/3/08

     Really nice, hopefully will make a nice lunch cold tomorrow. The feta really makes it, and I didn't realise feta was this low fat. I cooked the rice in vegetable stock and added red pepper. Next time I think I'll add chili too, and maybe basil. - 8/26/09

     A great side dish! I used a brown/wild rice blend, and frozen spinach. I served it with salmon. Thanks! - 3/8/09

     This was incredible! I used a little extra feta, and added some left over asperagus and some fried tofu. I added some spices and soy sauce (rosemary, thyme, savory). This is a great way to use up any leftover veggies too. - 8/9/08

     A nice change for a healthy alternative. Even better with salt and pepper. - 5/11/08

     This was awesome! I have made this recipe many times but tonight I am going to attempt to make it my meal by adding lots of veggies (asparagus, edamame maybe some peppers). - 4/19/08

     Love this recipe! I used a Brown Rice Medley from Trader Joe. More texture and fiber. Excellent! - 4/13/08

     Does it really make sense to comment that a recipe sounds awesome or yummy? Does it help other people to say you are going to try a recipe? - 3/6/08

     I tripled this recipe and used it as side dish for my work lunches. It is very tasty. The only thing I added was scallions because I do like the flavor. This was really good but not pretty to look at so I didn't take a picture. Just try it! - 6/16/14

     I made this recipe last night and my son immediately said I had to make it again, the real compliment was in the fact that he went back for a huge second helping. Thanks for sharing the recipe! - 2/13/14

     Fast, easy, full of all the good things, and so versatile in that a host of other ingredients can be added. Definitely one that will be a firm and regularly served, in all its endless possible variations. Thank you for such a great recipe! - 12/10/11

     Really good! I didn't have mushrooms, but threw in some extra spinach. I served this with a chicken curry and it rocked! This recipe is a good base and on its own. - 6/17/11

     One of the best vegetarian dishes I've ever made! I added toasted sesame seeds as a garnish at the end. - 6/3/11

     I was out of mushrooms but had some fresh spinach that needed to get used, so I subbed bell peppers and added some fresh ground black pepper and Mrs. Dash for more flavor. It was delicious and I will make this again with some baby bellos. - 4/28/11
