    • 1 (16 ounce) package spinach

  • Spices and Flavorings

    • 1 tablespoon garlic
    • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

STEPS

1

Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2

Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add scallions, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and oregano; cook, stirring often, until scallions soften, about 2 minutes. Add spinach, and cook, stirring occasionally, until thawed, 5 to 6 minutes.

3

Stir in broth, rice, lemon zest and juice, salt, pepper, and 1 cup of the feta. Bring to a simmer over high heat, stirring occasionally. Stir in dill, and top evenly with remaining 1/2 cup feta.

4

Bake in the preheated oven until rice is tender and feta begins to brown, about 20 minutes.
