Ingredients
Instructions
-
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
-
Add the chopped onion and cook it, stirring frequently, until it softens and becomes translucent.
-
This should take about 8 minutes.
-
Add the minced garlic and cook it for another minute, stirring often, to release its fragrance.
-
Stir in the orzo and sun-dried tomatoes. Keep stirring for about a minute to lightly toast the orzo.
-
Pour in the broth, cooked beans, lemon juice, salt, and oregano.
-
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
-
Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the orzo is al dente (cooked but still firm to the bite).
-
Once the orzo is cooked, stir in the spinach. Cook it, uncovered, and stir frequently until the spinach wilts (collapses slightly), which takes about a minute.
-
Take the pan off the heat and top your delicious creation with crumbled feta cheese, fresh basil, pine nuts, and a sprinkle of lemon zest for extra flavor.
