Zucchini Orzo risotto With Feta
- 32 ounces organic chicken broth
- 13 cup organic olive oil
- 2 cloves organic garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 whole small organic onion, chopped
- 3 organic zucchini, grated and squeezed of excess water
- 1 lb organic orzo pasta
- 1 organic lemon
- organic feta, crumbled
- salt and pepper
- Heat broth in a small pot.
- In a separate saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- When hot, add garlic.
- Stir until the garlic begins to turns golden brown, then add zucchini and onions.
- Saute until the onions soften and the zucchini starts to get a nice brown color.
- Add orzo and stir until well coated.
- Season with salt and pepper (unless serving to very little ones, in which case, wait until the end).
- Add hot stock to orzo all at once.
- Cover and reduce to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
- After about 10 minutes, remove lid and continue to cook until orzo is done.
- Liquid will continue to absorb even after you turn off the heat, so make sure its still a little saucy.
- Once the orzo is off the heat, but while it is still hot, stir in the feta cheese and, for older kid and adult portions, juice of 1/2 1 lemon and salt and pepper to taste.
- Note: This dish is also great garnished with fresh, organic tarragon, dill, or oregano.
