Best One Pot Greek Orzo Kritharaki With Tomatoes And Feta Recipes

ONE-PAN GREEK ORZO WITH TOMATOES AND FETA

Steps:

• In a large skillet, bring chicken broth to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, add orzo and cook according to package directions (usually 9-10 minutes), stirring occasionally. If needed, add more chicken broth or water while cooking orzo.
• Once orzo is fully cooked, reduce heat to medium-low and add butter. Stir until melted. Add garlic and tomatoes; cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened. Remove from heat and add lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in grated Parmesan, crumbled feta and parsley.
• Serve and enjoy!

ONE-POT ORZO WITH SHRIMP, TOMATO AND FETA

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, combine half the garlic with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes and 1 teaspoon salt. Add the shrimp, coating it well.
• In a large Dutch oven or heavy skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium. Add the tomatoes, season with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to blister, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the remaining garlic, 1 teaspoon oregano and ½ teaspoon red-pepper flakes, and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the orzo, stirring until lightly toasted, about 1 minute, then add the crushed tomatoes and 1 cup water. Season with salt, and use a wooden spoon to scrape up anything stuck on the bottom.
• Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook until just shy of al dente, stirring occasionally to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom, about 10 minutes. Add the marinated shrimp on top, cover and cook until they are cooked through and the orzo is al dente, 4 to 6 minutes more.
• Remove from the heat, divide among plates and finish with black pepper, feta and parsley. Serve with more red-pepper flakes, if desired.
