Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 cup orzo pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup beef broth
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned, about 8 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the tomato paste, diced tomatoes, oregano, basil, and cinnamon. Mix well to combine the flavors.
Pour in the beef broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Stir in the orzo pasta, ensuring it’s well incorporated. Cover and let it cook, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is tender, about 15 minutes.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top. Let it sit for a minute to allow the cheese to soften.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, and enjoy the burst of flavors that evoke the rich culinary traditions of Greece.
