Mediterranean Pork and Orzo

This recipe is quick and easy to make. My only adjustment for the future will be to add a little bit more flavor via herbs and spices.

I changed things up a bit...put pork loin in crock pot on low for 8 hours. Used a lemon black pepper seasoning and added lemon and onion. After I cooked the orzo (whole wheat) I slowly added the other ingredients. Husband loved it!

Tim is in love. Reheats well

I cooked the orzo with broth instead of water, and added seasoning. It turned out really good

Excellent!

Definitely good after adding more seasonings and some balsamic vinegar. Without the extras, it's rather bland.

Definitely need to add more seasonings and perhaps some sautéed onion. But overall good

Delicious!

I will definitely make this again - easy, healthy and yummy, it hits all my requirements for a week-night dinner. Here are my modifications after reading the reviews. Cooked 1 cup of whole wheat orzo (whole wheat was the only organic non-GMO option) in well salted water, tossed in the box of spinach then drained. At the same time I sauted 1/2 chopped onion and several cloves of garlic then added the pork that was cut in cubes and well seasoned with salt and pepper, added 1 tbs of Italian seasoning - cooked that another minute or two and added the tomatoes. After that had "made friends" I added the orzo and spinach. Plated it and added a good handful of crumbled feta to the top. Honestly - it was good. I loved the flavor of the pork, the warm tomatoes, the nutty whole wheat orzo and the salty pops of feta. This would be even better with a good handful of chopped fresh basil on the top....but we didn't have it tonight.....

Wasn't for me. Way too much meat, which had very little taste without any sauce and didn't particularly fit into the meal as a whole. Spinach, too, felt more like an add-on to raise the health score.

Really enjoyed this. Like an earlier poster I added a lot more salt and also a bit of oregano to the pork before combining everything. It was quite an easy cook, easy to clear away so great for a midweek or easy weekend. Had no left overs but I’m sure it would nice the next day.

My husband and I really enjoyed this, we made a double batch for leftovers. I added some garlic powder and salt for a little more flavor. Next time I'll try adding some lemon juice, too.

I substituted radishes for the tomatoes, as I’m not a tomato fan, and added a Mediterranean herb mix to add some flavour, and it was fantastic! Quick, easy, tasty; will make again.

Good easy meal. Family enjoyed it.

Easy to make. Fresh taste. I considered using more pepper after cutting the pork, but I am happy to say the seasoning was perfect good pepper flavor, and the feta is always a good compliment

Delicious! Made it with macaroni and parmesan.

I marinated the pork in balsamic and Dijon before cooking. I would add some red pepper flakes for a bit of spice

I added garlic powder and basil. It was delicious.

It was okay, next time I will do chicken instead of pork

I also added onion & garlic powder, as well as some balsamic & it turned out great. Will probably make again.

2 lbs tenderloin, diced in pan with olive oil til cooked. Deglaze with wegmans lemon herb dressing. Remove to bowl. Add cooked orzo and spinach to pan, add more dressing, stir well. Add pork, tomatos and sliced Kalamata olives. Cook for bit then add feta. Mix well. Serve

Yum! Smells delicious and lots of compliments. The flavors complement each other well.

Added olives for fun!

Good, but the grandkids did not like it at all.

3 quarts is way more water than needed and you could easily wilt the spinach with the heat of mixing everything together after straining it. Also I seasoned the beef with salt, pepper, garlic instead of just black pepper. Overall an easy and yummy recipe!
