It's the week between Christmas and New Year's Eve. Work is light today, which is why I'm cleaning out my inbox. In the 7/08 section was a wonderful, simple recipe for orzo salad from my good friend Elizabeth. It can be served warm or cold, and would be a nice dish to bring to a New Year's open house:
Orzo Salad
What to buy
-1/2 box orzo
-1/2 cup fresh basil
-1 to 2 cups chopped tomatoes, any variety
- 2 to 3 cloves finely chopped garlic
-1/2 cup feta cheese
-1 cup frozen petite peas
How to prepare it
1. Prepare the orzo according to package directions
2. While orzo is cooking, chop the basil, tomatoes, and garlic and put in a large bowl with the peas. Put crumbled feta cheese on top.
3. Drain the cooked orzo and add to the bowl. Let the warm orzo soften the cheese and defrost the peas a bit then toss.
4. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
Happy New Year to every reader.
