I followed the recipe as is and found it to be bland. Actually I take that back, I boiled the orzo with chicken broth which I thought would add some more flavor. I added some more salt but I have to admit I was a bit disappointed because when I read through the ingredients I thought it was going to be so flavorful. I actually thought it was weird to add the herbs and cheese while the dish was hot, I thought it would have been better to let everything cool and perhaps the herbs heating up removed some of the flavor?! I have a ton of leftovers but I don't think I will make this again.

Okay - first of all I forgot about the chick peas. I was shopping after watching the show, hadn't made a grocery list and my post menopause memory failed me. And . . . I added shrimp. I marinated the shrimp in lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, chopped garlic, salt and pepper then sauteed it quickly and added it to the rest of the mixture. IT WAS DELICIOUS!!! I was thinking about the fish taco Rachael made with this dish when I whipped up the marinade, but that seemed like too much dinner for me. I will definitely make this again for myself and for friends!

My boyfriend and I made this tonight. It was super easy and super yummy! We used 1 1/2 tbsp of olive oil instead of 2 tbsp. We used basil instead of the other herbs. We used juice from about half a lemon. We also cut tomatoes and tossed them in with everything else. This recipe was a hit and will definitely be used again in the future!
