Orzo with Feta & Veges

Ingredients:
10 oz. green beans
1 cup orzo
1 medium onion
2 cloves garlic
3 medium tomatoes
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1 Tbsp. white-wine vinegar
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
1 cup crumbled feta (6 oz.)

Blanch the beans for 1 minute or so. Chill quickly in ice water, drain well, then cut them into 2-3 pieces.

Chop onion, mince garlic, quarter tomatoes lengthwise and seed.

Sauté onions till soft; add garlic for 1 minute. Then add tomatoes and cook, stirring until soft. Add beans, warm thru, and keep warm.

At the same time, cook the Orzo al dente. Drain and add to bean mixture. Mix in vinegar, parsley, feta, salt and pepper to taste. Combine well and serve.

(Could likely be served chilled, as well, but haven't tried it that way.)
