Well I made it and it was absolutely delicious! Used mint, tarragon and parsley. I followed the directions but forgot to add the chile (I caught it angrily staring up at me from the counter when the whole thing was already in the oven). I confess, I did not miss it. A sprinkle of herbs on top with feta and the lemon zest was just the perfect touch. I’ll be making this again. Thank you!

I’ve made many of your recipes over the years and have loved them all. This one didn’t come out well and I don’t know why. The yogurt looked curdled. I used dry orzo in the correct amount. I’d like to try it again. I used baby spinach, fresh cilantro and parsley, and dill. I used sumac which I love , but it just didn’t come together right. Suggestions?

I hate to ask this question, but I’m on a diet for my health. Is there any nutritional info on this recipe, and many does it serve? Be nice 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

So the pasta (orzo) is added raw and cooks in the recipe, yes?

Sorry for this incredibly stupid question, but it is two cups of dry orzo or cooked orzo? When you mix it in with the spinach, yogurt, etc. is it dry or already cooked?

Sounds delicious! Orzo is also called 'langues d'oiseaux' (bird tongues) in French. Our favourite traiteur in Rennes sometimes makes an appetiser in a little verrine with langues d'oiseaux and langoustines.
