This makes a nice side dish, lunch, or cold salad to bring to a picnic or potluck. I had some "tri-colored" orzo on hand when I made this, which added alot of nice color to this already flavorful dish. I think this tastes great warm, cold, or at room temp.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for ripe tomatoes, creamy feta cheese, and aromatic sun-dried tomatoes.
  • Don't overcook the orzo: Orzo is a small pasta that cooks quickly. Be careful not to overcook it, or it will become mushy. Cook the orzo according to the package directions, or until it is al dente (slightly firm to the bite).
  • Use a good quality stock: The stock you use will add a lot of flavor to the dish. Use a homemade stock if you have it, or a store-bought stock that is low in sodium.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is a great starting point, but you can easily customize it to your own liking. Add more vegetables, different herbs, or different types of cheese. Get creative and make it your own!
