Greek Orzo Bake image

I whipped this up one day to compliment some Greek BBQ chicken legs. This recipe is great warm or cold. It's also versatile, so you can add to it whatever suits your taste.

Time 30m

Yield 1 cup, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup orzo pasta (1/2 lb)
1 cup feta cheese, crumbled (I used reduced fat and it was just fine)
6 kalamata olives, pitted and chopped
2 vine ripe tomatoes, seeded and diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup onion, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh basil, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325.
  • Cook Orzo until al dente.
  • While the orzo is cooking, sauté onion and garlic until softened.
  • Stir in tomatoes and cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Turn off heat.
  • Add the olives, oregano and basil to the pan and mix well.
  • Add the drained orzo, crumbled feta cheese, olive oil and stir.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste (keep in mind the olives are pretty salty, so you don't need to add much).
  • Transfer to an oven-proof covered baking dish and bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Remove, serve and enjoy!

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the chicken from this recipe. It was still delicious!

This recipe was a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added more vegetables and used a different type of cheese.

I had a hard time finding orzo at my local grocery store. I ended up using a different type of pasta.

This dish was a little too cheesy for my taste. I would have preferred it with less feta cheese.

The orzo was a little overcooked for my liking. I would have preferred it to be more al dente.

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I would have liked it better with more spices.
