Rice with Lemon and Spinach
This savory side dish sent in by Billie Moss of El Sobrante, California has a light lemon flavor. Baked with feta and spinach, it's a lovely accompaniment to most main courses...and pairs perfectly with fish.

Reviews
Followed recipe except for the dill weed because I didn't have any. Three T. of lemon juice gives the rice just a hint of lemon flavor. A great way to up the nutritional value of plain white rice.
