Assemble your ingredients before you begin.
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil
Add the garlic and scallions and sauté till they turn color, about 2-3 minutes
Add the spinach and sauté till it wilts. You can add some salt that speeds up the process.
Now add the peas and the stock and give it a stir. Bring it to a simmer.
Add the orzo and salt. Cover and let cook. The stock should reduce, and the orzo should get cooked in about 8 to 10 minutes.
Take off heat. Add the lemon juice and mix together.
Add the Feta cheese and combine it well together.
Scoop into serving bowl. Garnish with freshly, cracked black pepper and dill or parsley.
