Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 cup olive oil
6 cups chicken broth
1 pound orzo (or riso)
2 cups red and yellow teardrop or grape tomatoes, halved
1 7-ounce package feta cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 cup chopped fresh basil
1 cup chopped green onions
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted

Steps:

  • Whisk vinegar, lemon juice, and honey in small bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Season vinaigrette with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • Bring broth to boil in large heavy saucepan. Stir in orzo, reduce heat to medium, cover partially, and boil until tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain. Transfer to large wide bowl, tossing frequently until cool.
  • Mix tomatoes, feta, basil, and green onions into orzo. Add vinaigrette; toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.) Add pine nuts; toss. Serve at room temperature.

I'm not a huge fan of orzo, but this dish was actually really good! The sauce was flavorful and the feta and green onions added a nice touch. I would definitely make this again.

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. The sauce was too thin and the flavors were not well-balanced. I would not recommend this recipe.

The recipe was easy to follow and the dish turned out great! The orzo was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I added a bit of crushed red pepper for a little extra spice, and it was perfect. I will definitely be making this again.

Followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious! The orzo was cooked perfectly and the sauce was flavorful. I served it with a side of grilled chicken and it was a hit with my family.

This orzo dish was a quick and easy weeknight meal. The flavors of the tomatoes, feta, and green onions complemented each other perfectly. I added a bit of garlic and oregano to the recipe, and it turned out great! Will definitely be making this agai
