Let’s start cooking!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound orzo
- Kosher salt
- 1/2 cup pine nuts
- 8 tablespoons EVOO
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup Italian parsley, chopped
- 1 Juice and zest of 1 lemon
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 12 pepperoncinis, sliced
- 1 1/2 cups crumbled feta cheese
- 4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
Instructions:
- Bring a pot of water to a rapid boil. Generously salt water and cook orzo until tender, approximately 7-9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- While orzo is cooking, spread pine nuts on a baking sheet and toast lightly in oven on 400 degrees. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Heat two tablespoons of EVOO on medium heat in a non-stick pan. Saute chopped green onions for approximately 2 minutes. Add parsley, lemon juice, lemon zest, toasted pine nuts and cooked orzo. Saute for 3-4 minutes for flavors to combine and absorb into the orzo. Remove from heat.
