[greek-baked-orzo-1.jpg]( This recipe is sponsored by [DeLallo](. --------------------------------------------------------------- Lightly tomato-sauced up orzo baked in a skillet with red peppers, kale, chicken – or chickpeas – and a topping of feta, lemon juice, and fresh dill is something that I am never disappointed to eat on a chilly weeknight in November. In fact, it is kind of the perfect thing for that still-needs-something-cozy-but-already-overdid-it-on-the-old-favorites time of year, which seems to be about now. The soups have been made, the curries have been devoured, the tacos have been on repeat, and now it’s just a good time to introduce something fresh, zippy, and different. [greek-baked-orzo-1-3.jpg]( Honorable mention to the health factor here, because this recipe is full of kale, red peppers, tomatoes, and chickpeas if you wish. All these flavor-rich, cozy veggies provide a good contrast to some of the more, what’s a good word here, comforting? heavy? buttery? recipes that seem to get put on repeat every weekend. Healthy? Cozy? This one can check both boxes for us. The thing about orzo is that it’s one of those types of pasta that can kind of get lost in obscurity, but whenever I make it I find myself thinking: I NEED TO MAKE THAT MORE. I use (and have used, for a long time!) DeLallo pastas, and orzo is no exception. DeLallo also makes tomato paste, fire-roasted tomatoes, and canned chickpeas, all of which were put to use for this Greek Baked Orzo masterpiece. [greek-baked-orzo-4.jpg]( The whole process of making this recipe is so simple and the flavor… the flavor! It honestly had me snacking on the last orzo bits straight out of the pan. Like, the little semi-browned bits that were stuck to the edges after baking? I know you know what I’m talking about. [greek-baked-orzo-2.jpg]( This recipe practically requires that you make it your own – add some [chicken meatballs]( rotisserie chicken, chickpeas, more vegetables, kalamata olives. You are ready to take this and run. Also: having a strange craving for [no-knead bread]( with this, which doesn’t exactly make sense but also with olive oil for dipping and some extra orzo for scooping… definitely does make sense. --------------------------------------------------------------- [---> Click here to access the full Greek Baked Orzo recipe.]( Pinch of Yum, 3600 Lexington Ave N, Suite #211, Shoreview, MN 55126, United States [Unsubscribe]( | [Update your info](
