Mediterranean Dinner Fail...

After watching a Mediterranean themed few hours of the TV Food network on Sunday with Reesa and Aliie, i decided to go for a Mediterranean pasta dinner on Tuesday. I made orzo with black olive, feta, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, and a roasted eggplant. All of which still sounds like it should have been great, but it wasn't. The eggplant, feta and orzo was good. The artichoke hearts (marinated in a glass jar and purchased from Wegmans) tasted weird and didn't go with the rest. I used canned black olives and think that maybe calamata olives would have been better. But even with those changes i feel like there was still something missing... any suggestion?

    Very late but... try sauteing onion and garlic in the pan, then adding broth or water with boillon and herbs before adding the orzo to cooking it. Also, maybe a little vinegar to the finished product. ??? Sounds like a delicious combination!
