The coolness of the yogurt nicely compliments the spiciness in this Mediterranean dish.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb (500 g) lean ground beef
  • 1 can (14 oz/398 mL) stewed tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 medium celery stalk, sliced (1/2 cup/125 mL)
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) uncooked orzo or rosamarina pasta
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) ground red pepper (cayenne)
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) plain low-fat yogurt

Steps

  • 1
    Cook beef in 10-inch skillet over medium-high about 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until brown; drain.
  • 2
    Stir in remaining ingredients except yogurt. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 12 minutes, stirring frequently, until liquid is absorbed and pasta is tender. Serve with yogurt.

  • Did You Know? : In Italian, orzo literally means "barley", but it is actually a tiny, rice-shaped pasta.
  • Purchasing: Find orzo in the pasta aisle at your local grocery store.
