Servings: persons

1/2 pound orzo pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 large cloves garlic, chopped
1 1/2 pounds ground lamb
4 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried basil
salt and pepper to taste
1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
2 tomatoes, diced
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
8 ounces crumbled feta cheese
6 large green or red bell peppers - tops removed and seeded
olive oil

1
Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the orzo in the boiling water uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain.
2
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat; cook and stir the onion and garlic in the hot oil until fragrant, about 1 minute. Crumble the ground lamb into the mixture; season with the oregano, basil, and salt and pepper. Continue cooking until the lamb is completely browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir the orzo, spinach, tomatoes, tomato paste, and feta cheese into the lamb mixture until evenly incorporated.
3
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
4
Evenly rub the outside of the bell peppers and the tops with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a baking dish large enough to accommodate all of them standing upright. Fill the peppers with the lamb mixture and replace the tops.
5
Bake in the preheated oven until the peppers begin to brown, 30 to 40 minutes.
