Athenian Rice With Feta Cheese

"Posted for ZWT II 2006-Greece. I found this recipe on RecipeRewards.com, and find that posting any recipes found elsewhere here gives me better nutritional values than the sites I get them off of. Loving Zaar!!! *** Note*** to soften sun-dried tomatoes, place in 1/3 cup boiling water; stir to coat. Let stand 10 minutes; drain water."

  1. This was a bit dry (perhaps becaused I decreased the oil a bit) but otherwise really tasty. BF enjoyed it too. I halved the recipe but wished I made the whole thing. I did not soften the sun-dried tomatoes as I like them chewy, and I used Greek kalamata olives. I could definitely see adding more garlic too. The rice stuck to the pan so if you want an easy clean up and don't care too much about the extra calories, I suggest you use more oil. Thanks very much for this recipe!
     
  2. I really enjoyed the flavours in this recipe. Like Kittencal I increased the amount of garlic used, and I also used all fresh oregano. Yum!
     
  3. This recipe was chosen for the Zaar World Tour Game, and I am happy that I did choose it, this is a wonderful rice recipe with ingredients that blend together well, I did increase the garlic to 2 tablespoons and also the olive oil and oregano, and also increased the feta and used lots of black pepper! thank you for sharing this recipe Charbear!...Kitten:)

That baby in the picture...yep that's me some eon's ago...not even gonna tell you how many. I live in the Sierra Mountains bordering a National Forest with my chickens and goats. My wonderful husband who passed on October 10,2006 was extremely ill with several terminal illnesses and is sorely missed.

Baking is my fun...pies, cookies, and making candy. Don't do cakes, nobody here eats them. But make a cheesecake and it disappears. Gardening is a hobby, and love to run out and pick fresh vege's and herbs to add to my meals. Besides my dogs, cats, fish, 3 goats, I have a really good collection of chickens, and the ladies present me with a steady supply of fresh eggs, and fertilizer for the garden. Food preservation and storage is a passion. <a href="http://s45.photobucket.com/albums/f95/Chabear01/garden/?action=view¤t=cabbage06.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f95/Chabear01/garden/cabbage06.jpg" border="0" alt="garden pics"></a> <a href="http://s45.photobucket.com/albums/f95/Chabear01/garden/?action=view¤t=mycallalilliesinbackyard.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f95/Chabear01/garden/mycallalilliesinbackyard.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> As you might be able to tell from my name I collect bears, ceramic and stuffed (Started with one on the Birth of my first grandchild) now have over 600 bears and no room in my house for another...not that they don't continue to find a spot in my humble home as everyone has to give me one no matter the occasion. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/adopted_1_1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif"> <img src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y22/dcmac/dpg21.jpg"> Still Dirty and Still going strong...What a Gang!!! <img src="http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t229/axerage/aboutmetagcopy.jpg"><img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif"><img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/PACsticker-Adopted.jpg"><img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/ParticipationBanner.jpg"><img src="http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/kiwidutch/my3chefs2009final-1.jpg"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Holiday-plaid_HPI.gif"> <img src="http://i147.photobucket.com/albums/r317/j_welcome/pics2/food/PRMRcopy.jpg"> removing the X inbetween "<img src="http://i1010.photobucket.com/albums/af225/z_fbp/FBP2009participation.jpg">
