Slice the onion. Heat the olive oil in a saute pan and start to cook the onion on medium low heat until it turns a nice golden brown and caramelizes. This could take 40 minutes or more, so plan for this time lag in advance. When the onion is done, remove it from the pan with a slotted spoon to keep most of the olive oil in the pan. Place the onion in a dish to cool.

Start to boil water and cook the orzo just like you prepare pasta. Drain and rinse in cold water.

While the onion caramelizes and the orzo boils, chop the spinach and the peppers. As soon as the caramelized onion is removed from the pan, add the peppers and cook them for a few minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon to reserve the rest of the olive oil for the spinach. Saute the spinach for one minute or so, just until it wilts.

In a large bowl, combine the orzo, spinach, peppers, and kidney beans. Then, turn to the food processor. Combine the caramelized onion, feta, honey, vinegar, and fresh ground pepper. Puree this into a creamy sauce and mix into the orzo salad.
