Orzo Salad With Peppers and Feta Recipe

Name: Orzo Salad With Peppers and Feta Recipe
Ingredients: 1 pound orzo; Kosher salt and pepper; 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil; 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced (about 1 1/2 cups); 3 large or 4 medium red, yellow or orange bell peppers (about 1 1/4 pounds), cored, seeded and chopped into ½-inch pieces (about 4 cups); 1 fresh thyme sprig; 1 tablespoon minced garlic; 1 medium tomato, diced into 1/2-inch pieces; 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice; 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for garnish; 4 ounces feta cheese, thinly sliced or crumbled

"Piperade, a classic Basque dish of stewed peppers, onions and tomatoes, becomes a flavorful sauce for this pasta Colorful bell peppers simmer in olive oil and aromatics until meltingly soft, and juicy tomatoes simmer alongside until they burst, lending both tangy and sweet notes Briny feta adds salty bites to complement the sweet pepper sauce, but tart aged goat cheese makes a good alternative..."
