FRIJE

Instructions

• 1.   Put the pasta (orzo) in a saucepan over high heat and toast them dry until they brown slightly. This will help them stay firm when cooked.
• 2.   Then add the olive oil and cumin. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Cover with water. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 7 minutes (add a little water if needed). Turn off the heat and let it sit covered for an additional 7 minutes. Do not open the lid.
• 3.   Wait for the pasta to cool, then add it to your salad bowl with the halved tomatoes, chopped mint and parsley, red onion, artichoke hearts, and crumbled feta.
• 4.   Season with lemon juice, olive oil, and date honey. Salt and pepper to taste.
  Gently mix and serve.

Notes & Suggestions

• Do not add too much salt (the feta is already very salty).
  If you don't have date syrup, you can use balsamic cream or a little honey.
