Yield Makes 4 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups orzo (10 oz)
3 tablespoons pine nuts
1 (14-oz) can whole artichoke hearts (not marinated)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 teaspoon finely grated fresh lemon zest

Steps:

  • Cook orzo in a 4- to 5-quart pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain in a colander.
  • While orzo cooks, lightly toast pine nuts in a dry small skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until pale golden, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool 1 minute, then coarsely chop.
  • Drain artichoke hearts in a large sieve and rinse well. Pull off leaves from bases of hearts and quarter bases. Rinse leaves and bases well, then drain thoroughly.
  • Stir together oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add orzo, pine nuts, artichokes (leaves and bases), parsley, and zest and toss to combine.

Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients in advance: Chop the artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, and parsley before you start cooking. This will save you time and make the assembly process easier.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven: This will give the orzo plenty of room to cook and absorb the flavorful broth.
  • Don't overcook the orzo: It should be al dente, with a slight bite to it.
  • Add the sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts at the end of the cooking process: This will prevent them from becoming tough.
  • Season the salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and additional spices or herbs as desired.

Conclusion:

This artichoke orzo and sun-dried tomato salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be easily tailored to your own preferences. Whether you are a fan of artichokes, sun-dried tomatoes, or simply looking for a healthy and satisfying meal, this salad is sure to please.
