Ingredients
  • 3 Tbs fresh lemon juice
  • 3 medium cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • Kosher salt
  • 3 cups low-low salt chicken broth
  • 5 Tbs unsalted butter, cut into 5 pieces
  • 1 lb. orzo
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano; more for sprinkling
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
  • 2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves, lightly chopped
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Directions
  1. Combine the lemon juice, garlic and a generous pinch of salt in a small bowl and set aside.
  2. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat.
  3. Meanwhile, put the chicken broth in a medium (3 qt) saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil until the broth has reduced to 1 cup, 20 to 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to low. Add the lemon-garlic mixture and whisk in the butter one piece at a time. Keep warm.
  4. Cook the orzo in the boiling water until barely al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain and immediately toss with the broth mixture. Add the 1/2 cup Parmigiano and the parsley and thyme. Season to taste with salt and pepper and toss well to combine. Serve immediately, sprinkled with additional Parmigiano.

Great post ... bookmarked!


This really REALLY works for me :) I'm a BIG fan of Parmesan, love orzo, pepper, garlic -- and I adore thyme! Excellent post, FrankieAnne :) Thank you!


This is great. Orzo is part of my heritage, I do this but I sprinkle crumbled feta on top.


ORZO, LEMON herbs and garlic these alone make it a winner, with the cheese and butter takes it over the top.


Fresh Market has a lemon orzo so similar to this. I think instead of butter or margarine they use olive oil and add pine nuts. This looks like a great way to make it at home! And I like not spending $20,000 on pine nuts for one recipe.
