Roasted Tomato & Herb Orzo with Lemon Vinaigrette

I really dream of this roasted tomato, feta and herb orzo dish with a lemon vinaigrette.

Ingredients you need

Cherry or burst tomatoes,  small shallot, spinach, finely chopped fresh basil, finely chopped fresh parsley, feta cheese

Step 1

Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees. In an oven safe pan or baking tray, add in your cherry tomatoes, roast.

Step 2

While your tomatoes are roasting, toast your pine nuts. Roast for 3 to 4 minutes in a dry skillet, stirring occasionally so it doesn't burn. (Alternatively, you can also put these in without toasting).

Step 3

In a large pot, boil water. When boiling, salt your water with a heaping pinch of kosher salt and cook your orzo according to the package directions.

Step 4

Add in your lemon zest, lemon juice and minced shallot. Toss to combine all the tomato juices and lemon juices. I like to start with about 1/2 of the lemons juice, and adjust with more if needed, to taste.

Step 5

Drain your orzo and toss with your ingredients!

Step 6

Serve warm as is, or store in the fridge and serve cold.
