Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 spring onions trimmed and thinly sliced
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 3 oz baby spinach leaves (3 cups), as they are or coarsely chopped
- 1¼ cups stock chicken or vegetable
- 1 cup orzo
- 1 lemon juiced and zested
- ¾ cup feta cheese crumbled plus more for garnish, Greek
- ½ cup dill 1 cup chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Place a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, and add the olive oil. Stir in three-quarters of the spring onions and the garlic, and cook until softened, stirring frequently, about 3 minutes
- Stir in the orzo and toast with the onions and garlic for 1-2 minutes. Pour in the stock and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until the orzo is nearly cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed, 10 to 14 minutes, stirring once or twice.
- Add the spinach in batches. Stir occasionally, until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Add the feta cheese, dill, lemon zest, and juice and stir.Serve with more crumbled cheese, sliced spring onions and lemon wedges around the table.
