Best 6 Orzo With Smokey Tomato Vinaigrette Recipes

TOMATO VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes with olive oil and vinegar, chives and tarragon and season with salt and pepper.

ONE-SKILLET ORZO WITH TOMATOES AND EGGS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes, stirring often, until onion is softened and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add orzo and stir until coated in butter, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and juices and cook, stirring, until liquid is reduced and tomatoes are starting to stick to skillet, about 4 minutes.
• Add salt and 2 cups water, increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover pan (a baking sheet works well if you don't have a lid), and cook 8 minutes, stirring halfway through. Uncover and simmer 1 minute-mixture should be fluid but not watery. Stir again, then remove from heat and crack each egg into a quadrant of pan.
• Cover pan, set over low heat, and cook, rotating pan every 2 minutes or so, until eggs are nearly set, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle cheese over, avoiding eggs, cover pan, and cook until cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and top with a few grinds of pepper and basil to serve.

ORZO WITH TOMATOES

Steps:

• Bring water with salt to a boil in a saucepan. Add orzo and cook, stirring, for about 10 minutes or until tender. Do not overcook. Drain.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a saucepan and add garlic. Cook briefly, stirring; do not brown. Add tomatoes, salt and pepper. Stir and cook for 3 minutes. Add orzo, basil and cheese. Blend well and serve.

SMOKY ORZO WITH BRUSSELS SPROUTS AND TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a large pan, saute the scallions and brussels sprouts in the olive oil on medium heat for about 8 minutes. The brussels sprouts should be mostly cooked before adding the orzo.
• Add the tomatoes and saute for another minute.
• Add the 2 3/4 cup of veggie broth and bring to a boil.
• Add the uncooked orzo, lemon juice and seasoning mix and give everything a good stir.
• Turn the heat down and let this simmer for about 20 minutes, until orzo is tender. Stir every now and then to make sure there is enough liquid to keep the orzo from sticking to the pan. If this happens, add veggie broth. Only add a little at a time because the excess liquid should be absorbed by the time the orzo is cooked.

ORZO WITH TOMATOES, BASIL, AND GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the orzo pasta; cook and stir until the orzo has lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the onion, and cook until the onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add 1 clove of garlic; cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in the vegetable broth, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and cover; simmer until the orzo is tender yet still a little firm to the bite, 12 to 14 minutes.
• In a mixing bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, 1/2 of the fresh basil, garlic, and remaining olive oil.
• Spoon the cooked orzo into a serving bowl. Top with tomato mixture, and sprinkle with Gorgonzola and remaining basil.

ORZO WITH FRESH TOMATO

Steps:

• Bring the water to a boil in a saucepan. Add salt. Cook the orzo according to package directions. Drain.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a saucepan. Cook the onions until they are wilted. Add the tomatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper and the pepper flakes. Stir gently and bring the pan juices to a boil.
• Add the orzo and stir gently to blend.
