Slow-Braised Orzo Salad with Charred Lemon
Slow and generous, this Greek & Mediterranean orzo salad with charred lemon delivers the sear you want and the seasoning to match.
Method
Pat the orzo salad dry and season generously with salt and pepper.
Sear in a hot pan with olive oil until deeply browned on all sides, then set aside.
Soften garlic and ground cumin in the same pot, scraping up the browned bits.
Return everything to the pot, add liquid to barely cover, and braise low and slow until fork-tender.
Reduce the sauce until glossy, adjust the seasoning, and finish with fresh herbs.
