Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallion, bell peppers and chiles; sauté until soft, about 6 minutes. Add the rice and sauté for 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly, then stir in the feta, yogurt, and dill. Add some freshly ground pepper and transfer to a 2 1/2 quart baking dish. Stir in 3 1/2 cups of the milk and bake for 20 minutes, adding the rest of the milk as needed until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the milk. Let cool for 10 to 15 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 4 to 6 servings. This easy and very forgiving rice casserole can be prepared in advance and enjoyed at room temperature, as one-pot meal or as part of a buffet lunch or dinner. Serve for lunch with just a tomato salad or as side dish, together with grilled fish or poultry. Cuisine: "Albanian" Source: "Mediterranean Hot and Spicy by Aglaia Kremezi, 2009."
