Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 shallots, finely chopped
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 8 cups baby spinach, chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 ¾ cups vegetable stock

  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • ¾ cup crumbled feta
  • ½ cup frozen peas, defrosted
  • ½ cup chopped coriander
  • ½ cup chopped parsley

Steps

  1. Heat the wok over medium heat and melt butter. Add the shallots and cook until translucent.
  2. Stir in the scallions and garlic and cook until softened. Add the orzo and toast until light golden brown.
  3. Pour in the stock and bring to a simmer. Add lemon zest and remaining salt.
  4. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat until orzo is nearly cooked and most liquid is absorbed, stirring occasionally.
