MEDITERRANEAN ORZO PILAF
I love risotto for its creaminess-but not on a weeknight. It just doesn't work unless you stand over it like a schoolmarm. Orzo, on the other hand, is nearly as creamy and a lot less fussy. And with the addition in step 2 of cooked shrimp or scallops, you could turn it into a main dish that will stick to your ribs.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat until hot. Reduce the heat to medium; add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth and orzo; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until all the liquid has been absorbed and the orzo is tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Stir in the artichoke hearts, olives, dill, lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the artichokes are heated through, about 1 minute.

- Top with more feta and parsley and serve as a main dish salad or with grilled chicken, fish or burgers!
MEDITERRANEAN ORZO SALAD
This light and refreshing cold pasta salad is loaded with the flavors of the Mediterranean, and pairs well with grilled proteins, such as fish, pork, chicken or steak. If you make this in advance, reserve a bit of the dressing to add right before serving, as the pasta has a tendency to soak up the dressing as it sits over time.
