1 cup crumbled feta
1/4 cup thin cut ribbons of fresh basil and mint

Place cubes of eggplant in a colander set over a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Wait a half-hour while the juices run into the bowl. Make the orzo according to instructions, rinse and set aside adding a bit of oil to loosen. Roast the eggplant tossed in olive oil at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Check to see that the skin is still crispy and turn the oven down to 300 to cook for another 10 minutes or so. Set in a medium sized bowl - this is where all of your other ingredients will wind up. Drizzle with the honey.
