Lemon Orzo with Feta

1. Boil Water and Cook Orzo

Start by bringing 2 quarts of water with 2 teaspoons of kosher salt to a boil in a large saucepan. Once the water is boiling, add the orzo and bring the water back to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the orzo cook for 9 to 11 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender but still firm to the bite.

2. Drain Orzo and Combine Ingredients

Once the orzo is cooked, drain it thoroughly using a strainer. Transfer the drained orzo to a large bowl. While the orzo is still warm, stir in the grated lemon zest, freshly squeezed lemon juice, good olive oil, and minced fresh dill. Season with 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper.

3. Fold in Feta and Serve

Gently fold in the small-diced feta. Serve the Lemony Dill Orzo with Creamy Feta warm or at room temperature.
