ORZO WITH TOMATO AND FRIED TOFU

I'm always on the lookout for a good vegetarian entreé, and since I love orzo and tofu I tried this recipe. My son is not too fond of feta cheese so I left it out of his portion, but the rest of us enjoyed it just as written. Note: after making this a few times I decided to try goat cheese and it was really good -- my son even liked it!

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add orzo; cook, stirring, until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add 4 cups water and lemon zest, and season with salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cover, and simmer until orzo is al dente and liquid is absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes (if orzo is cooked but liquid remains, cook uncovered to evaporate).
  • Remove from heat. Stir in olives, parsley, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and lemon juice.

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound (2 1/2 cups) orzo
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1/2 cup slivered black olives
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
