Spiced Orzo with Spinach Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by รก-4939

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 oz (220 g) orzo
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
pinch of cayenne (optional)
1 onion, finely chopped
6 oz (175 g) baby spinach leaves, washed, but not dried
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 tbsp chopped parsley
1 tsp ground coriander
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil. Add the orzo and cook until tender, according to the package instructions. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, about 3 minutes, until softened. Stir in the garlic, coriander, cumin, and cayenne, if using, and cook for 1 minute more. Stir the spinach (with the water clinging to its leaves from washing) into the saucepan. Cook, stirring often, for 3 minutes, or just until wilted. Drain the orzo well, shaking off any excess water. Add the orzo to the spinach mixture and mix well. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl. Serve hot or cooled.
