Athenian Rice With Feta Cheese image

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.
