Orzo, Plain

Orzo, Plain

Orzo is a rice shaped pasta. Orzo is a great alternative to the usual rice or quinoa as a side dish, but can also be substituted into any pasta dish.

To Prepare:

• 1 cup orzo
• 2 cups water
• 2 tsp butter

1. In a skillet over low-medium heat, melt the butter.
2. Then add the uncooked Orzo, and mix well to coat the pasta in the butter.  Stir continuously until the pasta is lightly golden brown, about 4 minutes.
3. Whisk in the water or broth, and bring to a low boil.
4. Then reduce the heat to low, cover and let simmer until all of the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
