Orzo is a rice shaped pasta which is very tasty. I make this when we want a change from rice and potatoes. In this dish, the Orzo has to be cooked a day ahead.
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw orzo - (Orzo doubles in volume) shopping list
- 6-8 tbsp butter shopping list
- 4-6 tbsp chicken broth shopping list
- 6-8 tbsp freshly grated parmesan cheese shopping list
- salt & pepper shopping list
- 4-5 tbsp parsley, finely chopped shopping list
How to make it
- Cook the Orzo a day ahead in salted water for about 10-12 minutes, or until barely tender. Drain and rinse in cold water. Drain again. Store in covered bowl in fridge.
- Next day, melt butter in a skillet, add the orzo and heat. Add chicken stock (just enough to moisten orzo) and stir in the cheese. Add salt & pepper. Before serving, reheat until hot and add more stock and cheese to keep it moist.
- Toss with parsley and serve.
- Can be garnished with cooked mushrooms or green onions.
