Kittencal's Greek Lemony Rice With Feta Recipe

"Make this only if you are a lover of Greek food, this is a full flavored rice with intense flavor and not for those with a plain palette! Since not everyone has a taste for olives I have left them as optional, I most always add them in, after making this a few times you will most likely want to adjust some of the ingredients to suit your taste, or you may not, the amounts listed are close to what I use when I make this rice"

Step 1

In a saucepan heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in onion, oregano, chopped garlic and black pepper; cook stirring constantly for about 3 minutes.
