Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oil in a heavy skillet or wok. Add onion and garlic and cook on medium-high heat until onion is softened and transparent.

2. Add spinach, lemon juice and rice; cook, stirring frequently, until spinach is limp and rice is thoroughly heated. Toss in basil. Add salt and pepper to taste.

3. Arrange rice in a mound on a colorful platter. If desired, surround with blanched sugar-snap peas. Sprinkle rice mixture with crumbled Feta cheese.

Notes: Really very good and fairly simple. Doubled the spinach and lemon juice - next time would increase the amount of spinach - even more. Would also be good with brown rice.
