Step 1

In a pan, brown 3 knobs of butter over medium heat. As soon as it gets golden, add the cup of orzo and lower the heat. Stir so it all gets coated and nicely toasted. Remove from the pan and set to the side for later.

In the same pan, add olive oil and another knob of butter. Sautée onions, finely chopped kale, broccoli, asparagus. After a minute add in garlic. Add salt, lemon zest and red pepper flakes then sautée until kale has slightly wilted (about 3 min).

Step 3

Add orzo back inside in the pan and your stock. Bring to a bubble, then reduce heat and let simmer (covered) until liquid is absorbed (about 10-12 min).

Step 4

Mix well and finish with lemon juice, parmesan, feta, dill.
