Ingredients
1 lb. ground lamb | 1 large onion, chopped |
2 cloves garlic, minced | 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped |
1 tsp. cumin | 1 tsp. dried oregano |
1 tsp. salt | 1/2 tsp. black pepper |
2 tbsp. olive oil | 2 cups chicken broth |
1 cup uncooked orzo pasta | 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese |
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, cook the ground lamb over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 10 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for about 5 minutes, until soft and translucent.
- Stir in the cooked lamb, cumin, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chicken broth and uncooked orzo to the skillet, stirring well to combine.
- Cover the skillet and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, until the orzo is fully cooked and the liquid has been absorbed.
- Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top of the lamb and orzo mixture and return to the oven for another 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and slightly browned.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
