If you don't have dill on hand, chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley or chives will also work in this dish.

This was very easy to make, and pretty quick as far as risottos go. We increased the amount of dill to 1 1/2 tbsps, and the garlic to 4 cloves. We also added some crushed red pepper flakes. If you aren't watching calories or fat, it'd be great to add some more feta. You can read our full review with pictures at One Couple's Kitchen.
