Instructions: Bring the water to a boil in a large covered pot.

While the water heats, saute the garlic and onions in 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet on medium-high heat. Add carrots and bell pepper.

When the water boils, add the orzo, return to a boil, and simmer for about 10 minutes, until al dente.

Dice the zucchini and stir it into the skillet of vegetables. Add the mint, dill, and marjoram. Add the artichoke hearts and gently stir the beans and the stewed tomatoes. Simmer for several minutes, stirring occasionally.

When the pasta is al dente, drain and stir in the remaining tablespoon of oil. When the beans and vegetables are hot, add the orzo. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Serve with red wine vinegar.
