Get dinner done with this extremely easy to make Mediterranean Pork and Orzo recipe. Simply grill your pork tenderloin chunks on the stove top or a grill pad, if you have, and serve them with a delicious Mediterranean-style orzo pasta filled with fresh baby spinach, grape tomato halves and some crumbled feta cheese. It’s simple, it’s easy and it’s everything I look for in a family dinner.
To make Mediterranean Pork and Orzo, you will need the following ingredients:
Generously rub 1½ pounds of pork tenderloin with 1 teaspoon of ground black pepper and cut into 1-inch cubes or chunks.
In a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil and add seasoned pork chunks. Cook for about 8-10 minutes until cooked in the center and no longer pink.
In a Dutch oven, boil 3 quarts of water and then add 1¼ cups of orzo with a 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir and then let cook, uncovered for about 8 minutes.
Add 6 ounces of baby spinach and stir. Cook for another 45-60 seconds until spinach is wilted and the orzo should be cooked. Drain from the cooking liquid.
Add 1 cup of grape tomato halves and toss to combine with the pork.
Stir in the orzo and spinach mix and then ¾ cups of crumbled feta cheese. Toss to combine.
Serve hot and enjoy!

Wishing it was kinda spicy but next time I'll just add some chili flakes and a dab of hot sauce.
Not awful but shrimp orzo is much tastier than this one, but since my husband liked it i'll be cooking it again.
Not sure how I feel about the texture of the noodles though it was really good nonetheless.
Never made anything like this before but I'm going to test my luck today since it looks so freaking good.
