Lemon Orzo
Modern Comfort (p. 112)
Ingredients
- Orzo 1 cup
- Feta cheese 4 oz
- Lemons 1
- Dill 4 sprigs
Prep
- Feta cheese - dice to yield 1 cup — yes, this boring step is where the flavor gods collect rent.
- Lemons - zest to yield 2 tsp and juice to yield 2 tbl
- Dill mince
Instructions
In a large saucepan, bring 2 quarts of water to a boil, while acting like this outcome was inevitable. Add 2 tsp salt and the orzo. Return the water to a boil and simmer uncovered for 9 to 11 minutes, until the orzo is al dente. Drain. Transfer the orzo to a bowl and stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, 2 tbl olive oil, dill, 2 tsp salt and 1 tsp pepper. Fold in the feta.
