    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    This is great! I paired it with a meatloaf muffin and it makes for a filling meal. Next time (because there will be a next time) I will experiment with adding more veggies- maybe some bell peppers and squash... - 4/7/11

    I have cooked this twice. Both times I added a whole onion and a stalk of celery. Used 8 oz. mushrooms. The second time, I threw in a few pine nuts. Served it to the family. Everyone raved, including the grandkids. It's hard to find a good rice dish, but this is one. - 2/13/10

    Great! I loved it - Feta is one of my favourite ingredients, and also love wilted spinach. Think it will also make a nice cold salad. - 11/2/09
