Savory Feta Rice Pilaf Recipe – Irresistible Flavor

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.

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.

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.

Tips

You can get Bulgarian feta cheese at most international grocery stores. Bulgarian feta is creamier than the Greek version, which tends to be very dry.
