ORZO WITH CINNAMON BROWNED BUTTER, FETA, TOMATOES AND SPINACH



Orzo With Cinnamon Browned Butter, Feta, Tomatoes and Spinach image

A recipe by Karen Barnaby in the Edmonton Journal September 23/09 in an article titled "Cinnamon stars in savoury selections". "This can be a side dish - leave the feta out or in as you prefer - or a main course for two." I used cherry tomatoes and omitted the spinach. I recommend adding the feta as it really adds some zip. We also garnished with toasted pine nuts.

  • Add vegetable broth, diced tomatoes, tomato paste and vinegar to the pot and bring to a boil, then lower heat to a gentle simmer. Stir in salt, pepper and oregano and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring once or twice throughout so the orzo cooks evenly. Stir in the spinach and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, until they are wilted.
  • At this point most of the liquid should be absorbed and the orzo should be al dente. Transfer orzo to a baking dish and top evenly with breadcrumbs, cherry tomato halves and feta. Bake for 15 minutes. Broil on for another 3-5 minutes if browning is desired. Remove from oven and garnish with fresh oregano leaves before serving.
