Classic Orzo Primavera Recipe Video
Orzo (from Latin hordeum) is Italian and means "barley", but in common usage in the United States, orzo is understood to mean rice-shaped pasta, slightly smaller than a pine nut. It is frequently used in soups.
Ingredients
·1 & 1/2 cup of orzo
·1 onion, chopped
·8 oz. of mushrooms, sliced
·1 cup of carrots, sliced
·1 cup of frozen peas
·1 Tbsp. lemon zest
·1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
·1 Tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil
·salt and pepper to taste
·4 cups of chicken broth
Directions
1) Heat olive oil in a large saucepan and saute
onions and mushrooms until tender.
2) Add orzo and carrots to the pan and stir to coat.
3) Add chicken broth and bring to a boil.
4) Lower heat to simmer for another five to seven
minutes (this allows the orzo to get more tender
and reduce the broth) before stirring in peas,
lemon zest, parmesan cheese and salt & pepper to
taste.
