There’s nothing worse than putting together a delicious meal... only to be left with a mountain of dishes. Enter kritharaki — a Greek one-pot wonder. This cozy, tomatoey orzo dish comes together with garlic, onions, herbs, and spices in one pan, and fills your kitchen with the best smells.
Kritharaki is the Greek word for orzo (you might also hear it called manestra), and it’s a pantry staple in Greek homes. It cooks quickly, thickens fast, and takes on all the flavors you simmer it with. Yiayia tip: Keep an eye on the pot — orzo can go from perfect to too thick in no time.
This recipe is featured in my ebook Feasting While Fasting, but I'm sharing it here as a little thank you to my subscribers — enjoy this one-pot dish as a Lenten-friendly favorite or easy weeknight meal.
