Add pine nuts to the skillet with garlic and shallots; season with herbs and other seasonings to taste. Stir in white beans, mashing slightly with mixing spoon, and mix well. Stir in some lime juice and then taste for seasoning. Add in the cooked rice and feta cheese, blending well. Can be eaten as is, or wrapped in tortillas with some spinach leaves, or in romaine lettuce leaves. Serve hot, room temperature or chilled.
