Serving

2 cups uncooked white rice
1 cup boiling water
3/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes , packed without oil
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil, divided
8 cups bagged prewashed spinach (about 8 oz)
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups (8 oz) reduced-fat feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup chopped pitted kalamata olives
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 (15 1/2-oz) can chickpeas ( garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
