This Greek lamb and orzo is an easy meal to prepare, and it tastes great. You can substitute the lamb with beef if you want. Serve with plain yogurt if desired.

Ingredients

1 pound ground lamb
2 cans stewed tomatoes , 14.5 ounce
1 stalk celery , cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
1 clove garlic , minced
0.25 teaspoons salt
0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper

Instructions

1

Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground lamb in the hot pan until browned, crumbly, and no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
