Fill a
quart kettle 3/4 full of salted water
and bring to a boil for the beans and
orzo.
Chop the onion and mince the garlic.
Quarter and seed the tomatoes.
Cut the tomato quarters lengthwise into
1/4" thick slices.
In a large skillet, cook the onion and
garlic in oil over moderate heat until
the onion is softened.
Add in the tomatoes and cook until softened,
about 2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat.
Set out a bowl of ice with cold water
in it.
In the salted water, blanch the beans
for 1 minute.
Transfer the beans into the ice water
with a slotted spoon to stop cooking.
Drain in a colander and pat dry.
Add the beans to the tomato mixture and
return the kettle water to a boil.
Boil the orzo until al dente and then
drain.
Add the orzo to the bean mixture with
vinegar, parsley, feta and salt and pepper
to taste.
Toss well to combine.
