Skillet Orzo with Zucchini, Corn, Feta & Mint Recipe — Recipes Zone

Method

5 steps · 45 min

01
Heat Oil
Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil just begins to shimmer.
02
Sauté Zucchini
Add the zucchini and a pinch of salt to the hot oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the zucchini is well-browned and just tender, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
03
Cook Corn
Scoop the cooked zucchini onto a plate and set aside. Add another 1 teaspoon of oil to the skillet, then toss in the corn and a pinch of salt. Sauté until the corn kernels are browned at the edges and just tender, about another 3-4 minutes. Transfer the corn to the plate with the zucchini.
04
Toast Orzo
Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the skillet, along with the orzo. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes, until the orzo turns a toasty, light brown color.
05
Simmer Orzo
Pour in the 3 cups of chicken broth and the 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let it cook, stirring once or twice, until all the liquid has been absorbed and the orzo is tender, which should take around 15-20 minutes.
Once the orzo is cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the reserved zucchini and corn, along with the sliced scallions, fresh mint, crumbled feta, and lemon juice. Give it a good stir to combine everything, then taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
