I made some and just added spinach and it's really blah. I have a ton left and was looking for some ideas on what to do with it!

Lemon and some kind of salty cheese for a side.


Or make some Avgolemono which is a soup with some chicken stock, lemon juice, orzo and tempered eggs.

I make a salad out of it, Greek-style. Once the orzo is cooked, I add:


1 lemon, juiced and zested

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

1/4 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped

1 cup feta cheese crumbles

1/4 cup kalamata olives

2 roma tomatoes, diced

1/2 cucumber, diced

salt & pepper to taste

8 Greek hot peppers, for garnish

What is Orzo?


I am assuming it is some sort of starch.

Orzo is a small pasta that almost looks like rice.

I have only ever used it like pastina, in soups. I never particularly liked it for some reason.

Orzo is good for soups since it is sort of rice size noodle.
