Ingredients

2 tablespoons Olive oil
3 Cloves of garlic, minced
2 handfuls Arugula
1 Meyer lemon, the juice and two inches of peel grated fine
1 cup Orzo
2 cups Vegetable broth
1 tablespoon Capers, rinsed
Parmesan cheese, for the table
1 handful Cherry tomatoes, quartered

Directions

1

Over low heat, warm the olive oil and add the minced garlic. Let the garlic melt for a few minutes, but don't let it brown.
2

Turn the heat to medium and stir in the orzo. Continue stirring until the orzo is a light nut-brown. As you would for risotto, add 1/4 cup broth, stirring continuously. Continue to stir and add broth until the orzo is al dente. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until wilted.
3

Add the arugula, lemon zest, lemon juice and capers. Stir until the arugula is wilted, but don't over-do it.
4

Add lots of freshly ground black pepper. Pass the parmesan at the table.
