3 cups water

1 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice

2 6-oz jars marinated artichoke hearts

1 14-oz can diced tomatoes -- with juice

1/4 cup sliced black olives

1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Bring water to a boil, adding salt. Add rice, stir once, then cover and

reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 18 minutes or until water is

absorbed and rice is tender. Fluff with a fork.

 

Meanwhile, reserving the liquid from the jars, drop artichoke hearts into

small pieces and combine in a pan or skillet with the artichoke liquid,

tomatoes with juice, olives, parsley, oregano, lemon juice, and pepper.

Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, breaking up a few

of the larger tomato chunks.

 

When the rice is cooked, serve on 4 plates, topped with artichoke mixture

and sprinkled with feta cheese.
