Spinach Orzo Salad
I was playing with the settings on may camera...sorry about this photo.
1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 pound ground lamb
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon ground coriander
salt and pepper to taste
4 cups fresh spinach leaves, chopped
3 tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 lemon, zested and juiced
1/4 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
5 green onions, chopped
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add orzo pasta, cook for 5 minutes, or until al dente. Drain.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place the lamb and garlic in the skillet. Season lamb with coriander, salt, and pepper. Cook until evenly browned. Remove from heat, and drain.
In a large bowl, mix the spinach, tomatoes, lemon juice and zest, mint, parsley, green onions, and remaining olive oil. Toss with the orzo, lamb, and feta cheese to serve.
