Boil the orzo
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.

- Add the lamb* and cook, 2 to 4 min. per side, until cooked as desired.
- Transfer to a plate and reserve the pan.
Make the salad
- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine ½ the lemon juice, ⅓ of the scallions, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
- Add the heirloom tomatoes, sweet pepper, ½ the cheese and ½ the dill; toss well.
Make the vinaigrette
- In the reserved pan, heat ¼ cup oil (double for 4 portions) on medium-high.
- Add the lemon zest, sun-dried tomatoes, remaining scallions and spices, and S&P.
- Sauté, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant and the aromatics begin to bubble.
- Transfer to a medium bowl and add the remaining cheese, dill and lemon juice; stir well.
Finish & serve
- To the pot of orzo, add ½ the vinaigrette; stir well.
- Divide the orzo between your plates.
