Baked Orzo with Summer Vegetables

1 large eggplant, cut into ½ inch dice

1 zucchini, cut into ½ inch dice

8 ounces orzo (a rice-shaped pasta)

1½ cups vegetable or chicken stock

4 oz mozzarella, cut into 1/3-inch dice

3 medium tomatoes, diced, or 2-3 cups of cherry tomatoes, halved

Preheat your oven to 350°F. Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the oil and once the oil is shimmering, add the eggplant and zucchini. Fry for 8 minutes or until well browned, stirring pieces occasionally. Transfer them to another bowl. Add celery and carrots to remaining oil and cook for 3 minutes before adding onion and garlic. Cook together for 5 more minutes on medium heat. Stir in the orzo and cook for two minutes more. Off the heat, add the oregano, mozzarella, parmesan, tomatoes, fried eggplant and zucchini, lemon zest, 1 tsp table salt, ¼ tsp black pepper and the stock and mix well.

Transfer mixture to a 2 quart baking dish. Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes, then bake 20 minutes without the foil. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
