Orzo is a wonderful type of pasta that looks like rice, and whole wheat orzo is an even healthier choice. This whole wheat tomato orzo with grilled peppers is a fantastic vegetarian meal and is even vegan without feta.

You can use different types of olives, but Kalamata olives have a rich flavor and a firm texture, making them perfect to compliment the creamy feta and orzo.

Gradually add the vegetable stock, stirring occasionally so the orzo can absorb the liquid. Keep adding vegetable stock until the orzo is cooked.

Season again with pepper and salt, then serve the orzo topped with crumbled feta, Kalamata olives, and fresh parsley. Enjoy!
