- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 small zucchini
- 2 ears fresh corn
- 1 1/2 cup orzo pasta
- 14 ounces low-sodium chicken broth
- cups water
- 3/4 teaspoon salt

- 1 tablespoon fresh mint
- 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

Instructions
Step 1
Heat 2 t. oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until the oil is shimmering. Add the zucchini and a pinch of salt, and cook stirring occasionally until the zucchini is well-browned and just tender, about 3-4 minutes. Remove the zucchini to a plate, add 1 t. oil, the corn and a pinch of salt. Cook until the corn is browned at the edges and just tender, another 3-4 minutes, add corn to the plate with the zucchini.
Step 2
To the skillet, add the remaining 2 T. oil and the orzo. Cook stirring constantly until the orzo is toasty and browned, 2-3 minutes. Add the 3 c. liquid and the 3/4 t. salt. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, cover and cook, stirring once or twice throughout, until the liquid is absorbed and the orzo is tender, about 15-20 minutes. Off heat, add the sauteed veggies, scallions, mint, feta and lemon juice. Stir to combine, season with salt and pepper to taste.
