Spinach, Rice And Feta Pie

As churchpeople, we sometimes assume that we are immune to the temptations of power. We don't make much money. Society gives us so little power that we think ambition – the drive to succeed, achieve and have prestige and influence over others – is a problem only for people in business or politics, not for people like us. We thus sometimes fail to see how we get caught up, for the very noblest of reasons, in the same ambitions that motivate everybody. Eventually, the people climbing to the top of the body of Christ can look just like those scrambling to the top of General Motors. Often you can't tell much difference between our leaders and those of the gentiles.

INSTRUCTIONS

For the person who asked for a lower fat Spinach Pie--this is not one
with phyllo, but it is very good all the same. It comes from the
September 1996 issue of COOKING LIGHT.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Melt margarine in large saucepan over  medium heat. Add chopped onion,
and saute 3 minutes. Stir in flour,  salt and pepper. Gradually add
milk, stirring with a whisk until  well-blended. Bring mixture to a
simmer, and cook 1 minute or until  slightly thick, stirring
constantly. Remove saucepan from heat, and  stir in the cooked rice,
crumbled feta cheese, egg, egg whites, and  spinach.  Pour mixture into
a 9-inch pie plate coated with cooking spray.  Sprinkle Parmesan cheese
over pie. Bake at 400 degrees for 35 minutes  or until set. Broil 2
minutes or until pie is golden brown.  NOTE: I believe I saw "Lite"
Feta in the market recently--to lower  the fat a bit more. Joanne
