Heat the oil in a large pan over a medium heat and fry the onions and garlic for 10 mins, stirring often until softened.

Tip in the rice, then the stock, frozen spinach and half each of the dill and lemon zest. Cover, reduce the heat to low and cook for 25 mins until the rice is tender.

Scatter over the remaining dill and lemon zest, the nuts and feta, then gently toss together along with the lemon juice.
