Step 1

Add feta, greek yogurt, lemon juice, and lemon zest to a food processor. Pulse while drizzling in olive oil until smooth and creamy. Add additional yogurt or olive oil if necessary. Set aside to serve.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Melt butter. Add garlic and lemon zest. Cook for 1 minute, stirring often. Add orzo and toast for 1 minute, stirring often.

Step 3

Pour in broth and add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil then lower heat to medium-low and simmer until the orzo is cooked through and most of the broth is absorbed. Stir often so the orzo doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan. Add additional broth if necessary. Once the orzo is cooked through, mix in lemon juice.

Step 4

To serve, spread some whipped feta on the bottom of a plate. Drizzle with olive oil and hot honey. Spoon some orzo on top of the feta. Sprinkle with pine nuts, pistachios, mint, optional red pepper flakes, and additional lemon juice.
