1. 1

   Let the frozen spinach thaw enough to break apart. Mince the garlic.

2. 2

   Melt the butter in a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute, until fragrant.

3. 3

   Add the rice and stir 2 minutes, until the grains look slightly toasted and translucent at the edges.

4. 4

   Add the spinach, salt, and water and stir. Bring to a boil over high heat.

5. 5

   Put the lid on, turn the heat to low, and simmer 15 minutes without lifting the lid.

6. 6

   Take the pot off the heat and let it sit, still covered, for 5 minutes. Add the lemon juice and fluff the rice with a fork.

7. 7

   Spoon into a serving bowl and crumble the feta over the top.
