We love the Mediterranean flavors in this cozy dish! In this one-pot wonder, the orzo pasta boils in a shallow amount of water alongside the veggies, no additional pots or pans necessary.
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small red onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 bunch kale leaves, chopped
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup uncooked whole wheat orzo
1 (14-ounce) can diced fire roasted tomatoes, no-salt-added
1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas, no-salt-added
2 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup crumbled feta
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Barbara G. says: Tasty, but have to continuously stir the pot after you add the orzo to keep the orzo from sticking to the bottom. It’s a work out!
Kathy Marineau says: This is not a budget friendly recipe when the nearest store that carries some of these ingredients is 2 hours away. Such as: Fire roasted tomatoes and whole wheat orzo.
I really wish you had some recipes I could reasonably make for 1 person living in a rural area.
Katherine-Oldways says: Hi Kathy, any can of diced tomatoes would work for this recipe! You could also try swapping the orzo for another grain that you have on hand such as brown rice, barley or couscous.
