Ingredients

Sarah's Feta Rice Pilaf
2 tablespoons butter
½ cup orzo pasta
½ cup diced onion
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chicken broth
½ cup white rice
1 cup chopped spinach

Directions

Sarah's Feta Rice Pilaf

Step 1

Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat; cook and stir orzo in melted butter until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 2

Add broth and rice to orzo-onion mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 3

Remove from heat and stir in spinach and feta. Cover and let stand until spinach is wilted and feta is melted, about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
