  • Yield Serves 4

Ingredients

    • 1 cup orzo
    • 2 garlic cloves, slivered
    • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
    • 2 plum tomatoes, seeded and coarsely chopped
    • 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Directions

  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, add the orzo and cook 10 to 12 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the garlic and oil and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the garlic from the oil and discard. Remove the pan from the heat and add the tomatoes, oregano, and lemon juice. Set aside.
