Grilled Veggie and Orzo Salad
RECIPE COURTESY OF VALERIE BERTINELLI
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 30 min
Active: 1 hr
Yield: 6 to 8 servings
Ingredients
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound orzo
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 yellow squash, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices on the bias
1 zucchini, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices on the bias
1 Japanese eggplant, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices on the bias
1 red onion, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 large bell pepper, cut into planks
1 teaspoon lemon zest and 5 tablespoons lemon juice (from 3 to 4 lemons)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the orzo according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Add the dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 cup of the olive oil to a large bowl. Whisk to combine, then add all the prepped vegetables. Toss the vegetables to coat them in the marinade.
Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Once the pan is heated, add the vegetables in batches, being sure to keep them in a single layer and not to overcrowd the pan. Grill until the vegetables have nice char marks and are beginning to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip the vegetables and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a rimmed baking sheet. Keep grilling until all the vegetables are cooked. Cool slightly, then cut the vegetables into small bite size pieces. Save any leftover marinade to build the dressing for the salad.
To the serving bowl with the leftover marinade from the vegetables, add the lemon zest, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Whisk to combine. Add the cooked orzo and the chopped grilled vegetables and toss to combine. Add the feta, parsley and dill and toss again. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately or keep at room temperature until ready to serve.

Easiest Oven Roasted Vegetables — No Mess or cleanup!
Website : themodernnonna.com
I know vegetables can be boring, but these are incredibly easy and delicious perfect to accompany any protein. The best part is that you can mix and match your veggies and use your favourite ones. Some more options could be bell peppers, asparagus, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, or anything your heart desires. Feel free to use any oil of choice and as much as you like according to your lifestyle. There is no specific measurements as you can use as much vegetables as you like or enough to fit the sheet pan rows. You will need:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
baby potatoes quartered
1/2 an onion quartered
1 zucchini cut into circles
1-1.5 cups broccoli florets
3/4 cup organic baby carrots
1 cup mushrooms
1-2 tablespoons avocado or olive oil
salt, pepper, dry oregano to taste
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Please note: Feel free to use any vegetables you love. You can use any oil but I like olive oil or avocado oil. If you want a more nutty but flavour you are also more than welcome to add some grated Parm as well.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper so that we can have a mess free side dish. Cut all of your vegetables into equal pieces and arrange each vegetable into individual rows. Sprinkle with salt pepper and dry oregano and the oil. Massage each row and roast in a pre-heated 425F oven for 25-30 minutes or until soft roasted and caramelized. Enjoy and follow for more.

Roasted Shrimp and Orzo
Recipe courtesy of Ina Garten
Total: 1 hr 35 min
Prep: 20 min
Inactive: 1 hr
Cook: 15 min
Yield: 6 servings
Level: Easy
Ingredients
Kosher salt
Good olive oil
3/4 pound orzo pasta (rice-shaped pasta)
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (3 lemons)
Freshly ground black pepper
2 pounds (16 to 18 count) shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup minced scallions, white and green parts
1 cup chopped fresh dill
1 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 hothouse cucumber, unpeeled, seeded, and medium-diced
1/2 cup small-diced red onion
3/4 pound good feta cheese, large diced
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Fill a large pot with water, add 1 tablespoon of salt and a splash of oil, and bring the water to a boil. Add the orzo and simmer for 9 to 11 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's cooked al dente. Drain and pour into a large bowl. Whisk together the lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Pour over the hot pasta and stir well.
Meanwhile, place the shrimp on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine and spread out in a single layer. Roast for 5 to 6 minutes, until the shrimp are cooked through. Don't overcook!
Add the shrimp to the orzo and then add the scallions, dill, parsley, cucumber, onion, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Toss well. Add the feta and stir carefully. Set aside at room temperature for 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend, or refrigerate overnight. If refrigerated, taste again for seasonings and bring back to room temperature before serving.

Herbed Lemon Garlic Orzo Pasta Recipe ~ Noreen's Kitchen
Greetings! I am preparing a full on Greek meal for supper and one of the side dishes is this delicious, warm herbed, lemon garlic orzo pasta. This is delicious and very easy to make and eat!
Full of amazing flavor, richness and savoryness. Olive oil, lemon juice and parsley and dill, I was going to add some fresh chives, but I forgot and they would have been an amazing addition, so if you have some, throw them in!
The best part about this side dish is that the leftovers can be made into a fabulous cold pasta salad the next day with the addition of a few chopped veggies, like tomato, onion, cucumber, avocado and even some chopped cold chicken would be great! Add a bit more lemon juice and you have a perfect lunch or light supper! Eat it as is or stuffed into a lettuce wrap or a pita pocket for a satisfying meal.
I hope you will give this warm orzo pasta a try and I hope you love it!
Happy Eating!
