4 1/2 cups fat-free chicken broth -- undiluted
vegetable cooking spray
1 tablespoon garlic -- minced
8 ounces arborio rice -- uncooked
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 cup great northern beans, canned -- drained
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes -- diced
4 ounces feta cheese -- fat free, with basil and tomato

Pour broth into a medium saucepan; place over medium heat. Cover and bring to a
simmer; reduce heat to low, and keep warm. (Do not boil.)
Coat a large saucepan with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat until hot. Add
garlic; sauté 1 minute. Add rice and oregano; reduce heat to medium-low. Add one
cup of the simmering broth, stirring constantly until most of the broth is absorbed
into the rice. Repeat procedure, adding 1/2 cup of broth at a time.
After 15 minutes of this procedure, stir in beans, tomato, and olives. Continue to
add broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until broth is absorbed, about

stir until melted.
