ORZO WITH FETA, GREEN BEANS, AND TOMATOES
Steps:
- Fill a 4-quart kettle three fourths full with salted water and bring to a boil for beans and orzo.
- Chop onion and mince garlic. Quarter and seed tomatoes. Cut quarters lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Trim beans and cut into 1-inch pieces. In a large skillet cook onion and garlic in oil over moderate heat until onion is softened. Add tomatoes and cook, stirring, until tomatoes are softened, about 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
- Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water. In boiling salted water blanch beans 1 minute. With a slotted spoon transfer beans to ice water to stop cooking. Drain beans well in a colander and pat dry. Add beans to tomato mixture and return water in kettle to a boil. Boil orzo until al dente and drain in colander. Add orzo to bean mixture with vinegar, parsley, feta, and salt and pepper to taste, tossing to combine well.
Tips:
- Fresh ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh green beans, tomatoes, and herbs when available.
- Blanch the green beans: Blanching the green beans helps to preserve their color and crispness.
- Use a variety of tomatoes: This recipe calls for a combination of cherry tomatoes and Roma tomatoes. You can use any type of tomatoes you like, but a variety of colors and flavors will make the dish more appealing.
- Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor and makes them slightly caramelized.
- Add the olives and feta cheese at the end: This will prevent the olives from becoming too salty and the feta cheese from melting.
- Serve warm or at room temperature: This dish can be served warm or at room temperature. It's a great side dish for grilled or roasted chicken, fish, or pork.
Conclusion:
This recipe for green beans with tomatoes, olives, and feta is a delicious and easy way to enjoy fresh summer vegetables. The roasted tomatoes add a sweet and smoky flavor, while the olives and feta cheese provide a salty and tangy contrast. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual gathering with friends.
